A review by makennakjacobs
Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean

3.75

I devoured this book in one sitting. I enjoyed the combination of Princess Diaries and Crazy Rich Asians, plus a bodyguard romance, but in many ways, the concepts/tropes sounded better than how the actual execution went, for me. For example, the parent characters had so much potential but their Parent Trap-style reunion felt both inevitable and flat. Everyone's role defined their personality, which was tiresome. I didn't love how quickly the main character learned Japanese after one trite mistake.
