it was amazing
bookshelves: contemporary-fiction, cultural, young-adult

My heart is so happy after finishing this book. Such a surprising feel-good story. Comparisons have been made to The Princess Diaries and Crazy Rich Asians. There are some similar plot elements while giving us the best of each in a unique new princess tale. Don't worry, the girl power is very strong for both Izumi and her mother. Emiko Jean has blessed us all with a story that examines themes like cultural identity, royal protocols, betrayal, rivalry, parenthood, and personal growth. It is a perfect read for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. If you want a modern princess tale, this is the perfect book for you. Recommended for 12 and up.

Thank you to Flat Iron and Edelweiss+ for a DRC in exchange for an honest review.

Thibault Busschots A modern princess story for a modern reading and reviewing queen. Seems like a good fit. Glad you like it so much, Darla.
