Tokyo Dreaming by Emiko Jean
2.0

Some parts of this book shone like gold - which is why this a two star book and not a one star.
The rest of the book buried it.
The needless love triangle and fake-dating angle, the quick romance that followed a breakup that completely destroyed any semblance of the breakup being heartbreaking - it was just so cringey and I hated it. The writing has definitely improved since the first book in the series and I loved how the book explored cultural explorations and trying to make your own way when it seems impossible, exploring how friendships change when college starts and lives start diverging. Honestly, if this book had got rid of the romance angle and totally focused on Izumi's other relationships (the twins - which I loved in this book, her parents, her best friend) - this book would be so much better and more enjoyable.
