My Almost Flawless Tokyo Dream Life by Rachel Cohn
5.0
5/5 stars.
QUICK THOUGHTS:
• I loved this book! I’ve never read anything by the author before but this was refreshing. I’ve been reading fantasies so a contemporary was needed~
• Elle was an adorable main character. Her struggles were real, assimilating to a new country and culture that was completely out of the norm for her.
• I liked learning a little about Japan and Japanese. I would like to travel here someday so it was neat to learn about cool places and some phrases
• I appreciated the inclusion of mental health/addiction and LGBT themes in this story. They weren’t forced and done well
• This was very Crazy Rich Asians but in YA. I loved that series so this worked for me too!
