I thought their relationship was endearing and realistic and I was totally rooting for them throughout the story. Then, of course, there’s the attraction to her new bodyguard, Akio, whose mother is suffering with dementia. I have no knowledge of Japanese Royalty, but the details included in this book feel believable enough that there are few, if any distracting elements. But then the Japanese press begins to rip into her, all while she’s trying to understand her new role and dealing with cousins who are jealous about sharing the spotlight. She’s hoping that going to Japan will be an opportunity to find herself.Īt first, things are different, but pretty okay. Izumi is awkward and messy and feels a bit of out of place as an Asian-American. The narrator was spot-on and the story itself very immersive. This was such a fun book! I loved every moment spent listening to the audio galley. Will she survive and finally find belonging? Or will she crash and burn? The Good When she gets to Japan, however, she’s met with a new (handsome) bodyguard, Akio cunning cousins, and a whole lot of royal etiquette to learn. Of course, this means she had to leave close to the end of her senior year in high school, hoping to return in time for graduation. Immediately, she’s whisked away to Japan to meet her father and the family she didn’t know she had. In Tokyo Ever After, Izumi Tanaka finds out that her father (the one her single mother never wants to talk about) is the crowned Prince of Japan.
