Izumi soon finds herself caught between worlds, and between versions of herself-back home, she was never “American” enough, and in Japan, she must prove she’s “Japanese” enough. There are conniving cousins, a hungry press, a scowling but handsome bodyguard who just might be her soulmate, and thousands of years of tradition and customs to learn practically overnight. But being a princess isn’t all ball gowns and tiaras.
In a whirlwind, Izumi travels to Japan to meet the father she never knew and discover the country she always dreamed of. Which means outspoken, irreverent Izzy is literally a princess. But then Izumi discovers a clue to her previously unknown father’s identity…and he’s none other than the Crown Prince of Japan. Raised by a single mother, it’s always been Izumi-or Izzy, because “It’s easier this way”-and her mom against the world. Izumi Tanaka has never really felt like she fit in-it isn’t easy being Japanese American in her small, mostly white, northern California town. The Princess Diaries meets Crazy Rich Asians in Emiko Jean’s Tokyo Ever After, a “refreshing, spot-on” (Booklist, starred review) story of an ordinary Japanese-American girl who discovers that her father is the Crown Prince of Japan. A Most Anticipated Book (Marie Claire, Cosmpolitan, Entertainment Weekly, Good Morning America, Goodreads, Bustle, Publishers Weekly,, and more)!
