I literally can’t even review this yet because I dropped my jaw about 200 pages ago and still haven’t found it.

THE BEST REVIEW I CAN GIVE is to go into this with AS LITTLE INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE. You will have so much more fun….and then immediately want to reread it again. My head is still spinning.

LOVE.

Aloha Betrayed: Native Hawaiian Resistance to American Colonialism by Noenoe K. Silva

Very academically written, I may have been better served by reading the physical book rather than listening to the audiobook or some combination of the two. There is a plethora of Hawaiian spread throughout which was a pro for the audio but the density of the chapters would have better served me by utilizing the hard copy. Even now I have a hard time remembering a bulk of the material.

There isn’t a single likable character here. And the narrator says it herself, she is bored of life and it bleeds through. This was a tough one for me.
