TOKYO EVER AFTER Tokyo Ever After, Book 1

Narrator Ali Ahn gives this young adult rom-com fun doses of personality and sass. Raised in California by her mother, Izumi Tanaka doesn't know the name of her father until she accidentally discovers it just months before high school graduation. In PRINCESS DIARIES fashion, Izzy is shocked to learn that her dad is Japanese royalty and that she's been invited to Tokyo to meet him and learn how to be a princess. Ahn's delivery reflects Izzy's conflicted reactions to Japan, the people, the places, the customs and expectations--and her cute bodyguard. Strong-willed Izzy worries she'll never truly be accepted by her father's traditional family. Ahn's accents and Japanese pronunciations ring true as she clearly differentiates characters of different ages and nationalities. C.B.L. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2021]
