Tokyo Ever After was one of my favorite 2021 YA Contemporary Romances I read last year so when I got the chance to read and review Tokyo Dreaming I jumped on the chance! I love the characters, family dynamics, romance, and royalty in these books.
Izumi's life forever changed when she found out she was a princess. Not only did she have to adjust to the restrictions of her new life but she also fought for the unconventional love she had for her bodyguard. Now life is changing again as she tries to figure out what she wants to do with the next part of her life. With her parents wedding approaching she's made unlikely allies with her cousins, met a new boy who just gets her, and is working on strengthening her reputation among the royal family.
The path to finding yourself is never as straight-forward as you think. Tokyo Dreaming takes us deeper into Izumi's struggles to finding her place. She can feel the changes between her family, friends back home, and her relationship with her boyfriend. She just doesn't know if the weight of all that's changing will cause her to forget who she was before she became a princess.
I love Izumi's story and am so glad I had the opportunity to review these books. I can't wait to read more of Emiko Jean's books!
