Tokyo Ever After

So, after I struggled and finished "Destination Wedding", another book on "self-discovery" where an American woman of colour travels to her home country, wondering if she'll ever fit in, falls in love in the process, and decides to stay back (apparently for no reason, because the plot was extremely weak), I began to read "Tokyo Ever After" which surprisingly has a similar story, only a hundred thousand times more interesting and enjoyable, with a very intelligent and relatable protagonist."Tokyo Ever After" is one of those stories that you simply cannot get enough of. You simply do not want it to end. Set in 2021, Izumi's story inspires conversation on different cultures, elitism, racism, freedom of expression, sexism, casual sexual harassment, identity crisis, and underrepresention of minorities in art, to name but a few social issues that command our attention. And the writing is soo good! The humour is SPOT ON and I was laughing my a** off the entire time! She captured the Gen Z mood pretty well!And Japan. Oh Japan! I've always wanted to visit and now I want it even more. I don't think anyone could have represented the country with more honesty and respect than how Ms. Emiko Jean did. The characters are so individualistic and have their own quirks. And that twist in the end? I SAW IT COMING! I'm getting better - so better - at predicting these twisted endings!All in all, it was a DELICIOUS read. I wish they make it into a movie, it would fare so well!

Tokyo ever after is all about the relationship story of the crown prince of Tokyo and his daughter, a common Japanese American.There is also Japanese culture and history, kanji, princess etiquettes, jealous relatives, a handsome imperial guard and of course a perfect dramatic ending!

It's been a very very long while since I had the time to pick up a book and finish it entirely. This one was an easy read. It is clichéd but sometimes that's good too! Finished all of it in a day and really enjoyed the way the Author has written it ❤️

Um livro que vale a pena, por ser no Japão, cheio de referencias culturais e por ser sobre a realeza, pertença e ter muito girl power. A edição é muito bonita, com a arvore genealogica e o relevo na capa., e as cores. Amei muito
