Historia4 out of 5 stars 54
Born and raised in Hawai‘i by a father whose ancestors are indigenous to the land and a mother from the American South, Jessica Machado wrestles with what it means to be “local.” Feeling separate from the history and tenets of Hawaiian culture that have been buried under the continental imports of malls and MTV, Jessica often sees her homeland reflected back to her from the tourist perspective—as an uncomplicated paradise. Her existence, however, feels far from that ideal. Balancing her parents’ divorce, an ailing mother, and growing anxiety, Jessica rebels.

Loved this!

I really enjoyed listening/reading this book. My Puerto Rican family is from Hawaii and I really enjoyed hearing about the history in this story telling way.
The only thing that would’ve made it better is a PLAYLIST!!!! I’m an 80s baby so all of her song references were spot on. I guess I’ll have to read again and make notes!
