Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean
5.0
Princess Diaries meets Crazy Rich Asians.
I found this book in my local library: Princess and Bodyguard Trope?! Forbidden Love?! I was sold.
Izumi is such a likeable character. It was interesting to learn about the Japanese culture alongside with her and the way she handled everything was amazing. She came to terms that she is her own person and doesn't need to put herself into categories and I loved that. Also, I'm a person that decides with their heart as well, so it was refreshing to see a protagonist that does the same.
I loved her relationship with her mom. They've been a unit, and while her mom has secrets she has never not supported her daughter. They've always been close, even though Izzy is beginning to push away and find her own independence.
Izumi's friends. I care them all so bad, they are the type of friends that you NEED in your life. The way they supported each other during everything, beautiful. I just wish they had more parts in the book like maybe a bonus chapter.
I was kinda scared how the story with her father would go, but I wasn't disappointed. It wasn't awkward and showed their father-daughter relationship development in a good way.
Akio. Oh, my. He is so lovely. I love enemies to lovers and their relationship had that sweet taste of forbidden romance. Plus, their chemistry was fantastic.
The writing was amazing. It was fast-paced (just how I like my books because I'm a lazy person …) and it had such a light flow reading wise, I couldn't put it down. I literally devoured it in four days!
Overall this book was wonderful and easy to read. 5/5 I really recommend. The next book is already in my shopping cart.
