She is Japanese, but she was born and raised in The U.S. This book follows the story of a young lady named Izumi. I pre ordered the book on Audible, and began counting down the days until it’s release. I knew that this book would be perfect for me and I had really expectations. It’s why I created an entire blog on the topic. If you have read other posts on this blog, you might know that Princess Diaries was the movie that sparked my obsession with modern elegance. She said this book had major Princess Diaries vibes. Hailey published a video about all the books that she wanted to read this spring and Tokyo Ever After was on the list. I have found so many amazing books from her. If you are new to the book world, I highly recommend you follow Hailey on Youtube. Hailey in Bookland was one of the first Booktubers that I came across, and I’ve been a huge fan of her channel ever since. Thankfully there are tons of incredible people on Youtube who do book reviews so that you are able to find books that you will like. When I first started reading in 2020, I had absolutely no idea where to start. *There are no spoilers in any of my book reviews, and this post may contain affiliate links. Today I finished reading Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean and I have some thoughts! Stick around because we need to talk.
I loved it so much that I started a book club. I spent over a decade living my life without books and decided to start reading again when we were placed under lockdown as a result of the pandemic. If you are new here, my name is Victoria and the last book I read before I stopped reading was the twilight series.
Agent: Erin Harris, Folio Literary Management.Hi there! It’s wonderful to have you visit Bombshell Book Club. Abrupt switches from Izzy’s perspective to lyrical descriptions of Japan may disrupt readers’ enjoyment, but a snarky voice plus interspersed text conversations and tabloid coverage keep the pages turning in Jean’s ( Empress of All Seasons) fun, frothy, and often heartfelt duology starter. Add in a medley of cousins and an upcoming wedding, and Izzy is in for an unforgettable summer. But press surveillance, pressure to quickly learn the language and etiquette, and an unexpected romance make her time in Tokyo more fraught than she imagined. Desperate to know her father, Izzy agrees to spend the summer in his home country.
So when she and her best friend find a letter in Hanako’s bedroom, the duo jump at the chance to ferret out Izzy’s dad’s true identity-only to find out he’s the Crown Prince of Japan. Mount Shasta, Calif., high school senior Izumi Tanaka is a normal 18-year-old American girl: she enjoys baking, watching Real Housewives, and dressing like “Lululemon’s sloppy sister.” But Japanese American Izzy, conceived during a one-night stand in her mother Hanako’s final year at Harvard, has never known the identity of her father.
