Tokyo Ever After (Tokyo Ever After, #1)

What a delightful and sweet book! I practically inhaled this, not only because of Izumi's voice (she's hilarious and so blunt), but also the tropes (royal/bodyguard romance!!! clothes sharing!! the Asian Girl Gang/female friendships!!!!) and certain characters.
I am South Asian, not East Asian, but oh MAN I related so much to Izumi. The name keychains, being raised/living in a mostly white and conservative town, trying to be "enough" for two or more cultures... This book was so wonderful and yet so cathartic.
And the ending was lovely and stood well on its own, I gotta say that I am so relieved there's a second book! Not ready to let go of this universe/the characters, tbh.
Also who do I have to bribe to get a follow up book about Izumi's parents??? They were too adorable 🥰

It really is!! If you read it I hope you enjoy 🤓 The Princess Diaries elements are there but I love the author's deeper exploration of them
comforting that you've reas and approve of this, nitya! that's settled, next purchase.
