grav_ityThis was a time travel story that mixed physics with INKHEART and didn't explain anything (which, honestly, is usually the best way to write time travel). I liked that the primary setting was Hawaii and the primary TIME setting was an interesting/uncomfortable part of Hawaiian history.
I did not like that there was a dearth of female characters (though, I will say, the crew member who was "haunted" by her wife's spirit so effectively that said wife was kind of a tertiary character was cool. If it's culturally accurate, it would be even cooler). Basically, I spent the entire novel wishing that the romantic interest was a girl-character instead of a boy-character because then AT LEAST there'd be a girl-girl friendship, if not a girl-girl romance.
(There was, btw, literally no reason why the character was male. You can't even claim "historical accuracy", because the character was taken from a fictional locale, via the time travel/magic dealio.)
I JUST WANT GIRLS IN STORIES, DAMMIT.
Anyway, it was the sort of book you read on a beach and like a lot.
