![]() ![]() ![]() Until I’d read STARFISH, I’d never read a novel that accurately captured the biracial experience it’s far too easy to tell when the author isn’t biracial and/or a character is biracial just to score diversity points. Review:I’ve had STARFISH since its publication, but put off reading it because I couldn’t bear to be disappointed by another poor representation of biracial characters. And now that she is finally free to be her own person outside the constricting walls of her home life, Kiko learns life-changing truths about herself, her past, and how to be brave. ![]() So when she receives an invitation from her childhood friend to leave her small town and tour art schools on the west coast, Kiko jumps at the opportunity in spite of the anxieties and fears that attempt to hold her back. ![]() With a mother who makes her feel unremarkable and a half-Japanese heritage she doesn’t quite understand, Kiko prefers to keep her head down, certain that once she makes it into her dream art school, Prism, her real life will begin.īut then Kiko doesn’t get into Prism, at the same time her abusive uncle moves back in with her family. Blurb: Kiko Himura has always had a hard time saying exactly what she’s thinking. ![]()
