Hula follows three generations of women in Hawaii. It explores identity and belonging - almost like a coming of age novel. It’s also culturally rich and there is so much history as well. I thought it was beautifully written however, there were times where I felt it was a little too long. Regardless, I do think the story is important as there’s not many Hawaiian authors or stories out there. The cover is also absolutely beautiful.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book!
