Tokyo Dreaming (Tokyo Ever After, 2)
Return to Tokyo for a royal wedding in Emiko Jean's New York Times bestseller Tokyo Dreaming, the sequel to beloved rom-com Tokyo Ever After!
When Japanese-American Izumi Tanaka learned her father was the Crown Prince of Japan, she became a princess overnight. Now, she’s overcome conniving cousins, salacious press, and an imperial scandal to finally find a place she belongs. She has a perfect bodyguard turned boyfriend. Her stinky dog, Tamagotchi, is living with her in Tokyo. Her parents have even rekindled their college romance and are engaged. A royal wedding is on the horizon! Izumi’s life is a Tokyo dream come true. Only. . .
Her parents’ engagement hits a brick wall. The Imperial Household Council refuses to approve the marriage citing concerns about Izumi and her mother’s lack of pedigree. And on top of it all, her bodyguard turned boyfriend makes a shocking decision about their relationship. At the threat of everything falling apart, Izumi vows to do whatever it takes to help win over the council. Which means upping her newly acquired princess game.
But at what cost? Izumi will do anything to help her parents achieve their happily ever after, but what if playing the perfect princess means sacrificing her own? Will she find a way to forge her own path and follow her heart?

Tokyo Dreaming was a cute sequel to Tokyo Ever After! I had the opportunity to review the first book around the same time last year and was delighted to read the second early as well.
In this sequel, we find Izumi residing in Japan as her parents are rekindling their love for each other and decide to get married. The Imperial Household Council refuses to approve the marriage stating their âconcernsâ about Izumi and her motherâs lack of pedigree. This infuriates Izumi and she decides to become âThe Perfect Princessâ material even if she has to sell her soul.
Read and find out just how far Izumi will go to make everyone happy.
