❃ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Will Izumi crumble under the weight of the crown, or will she live out her fairytale, happily ever after? Izzy 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, Izzy 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 Izzy 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. "Radish.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. It's part evil, part satisfied, as if he's just won a bet with himself. Our affair will inspire folksy campfire ballads. Maybe I've terribly misjudged him and this is just a rocky start to a friendship that turns to love that will last the ages. The possibilities are endless- Sunshine, Moonflower, Cherry Blossom. "What did you suggest?" I look up at Akio with stars in my eyes. The Lost Butterfly, so we had to change it." "Then, the tabloids gave you the moniker. "That's nice, I guess." A little soft, but okay. "What is it? Sidewinder or Lightning or maybe Pegasus?" "I knew it!" My twirl is the glee-filled kind. "As a matter of fact, you do have a code name." “Do I have a code name? II'm pretty sure I get a code name.
