Ohhhhhhmygod. Tokyo Ever After was the first audiobook that I'd ever listened to and it's fitting that Tokyo Dreaming is what gets me back on an audiobook kick. I loved hearing the Japanese language throughout and how the narrator's inflections changed as she portrayed each character. (Don't get me started on how some narrators do "boy" voices...) This book is devastating, amazing, and every early 2000's princess movie wrapped into one. It even nails the love triangle trope, which is usually not my favorite. All I want to do now is hop on a flight to Tokyo so I can see all of the gorgeous scenery Emiko Jean presents with my own eyes. I was emotionally invested from the get go - to the point of actually SCREAMING at the Act I twist - and can't wait to read more from her. I don't know if there will be a third book, but I'm SO down for one. She does so well in making both books self-contained, yet with potential to grow further.

But seriously if you ever wanted to be a princess or want to learn more about Japanese culture, this is the book for you.
