New Books to Check Out in June
Hula : a novel
by Jasmin 'Iolani Hakes

A young daughter of the legendary Hawaiian Naupaka dynasty dreams of healing the rift in her family by competing in and winning the next Miss Aloha Hula contest and proving herself worthy of carrying on her family's name.
The Edible Flower : A Modern Guide to Growing, Cooking & Eating Edible Flowers

Feast, celebrate and bring people together with over 50 recipes that are fresh, flavourful and stunning to serve. With helpful gardening tips and recipes for small plates, mains, desserts, baked goods and drinks, this is the ultimate guide to growing, cooking and eating edible flowers.
The Late Americans
by Brandon Taylor

In the shared and private spaces of Iowa City, a loose circle of lovers and friends encounter, confront, and provoke one another in a volatile year of self-discovery. These four are buffeted by a cast of artists, landlords, meatpacking workers, and mathematicians who populate the cafes, classrooms, and food-service kitchens of the city, sometimes to violent and electrifying consequence. Finally, as each prepares for an uncertain future, the group heads to a cabin to bid goodbye to their former lives—a moment of reckoning that leaves each of them irrevocably altered.
