My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a cute YA romance- very predictable in a way, but has the unique nuances of displaying the cultural differences of Japan and America, as well as the cultural crosshairs of not being American enough for America, and not being Japanese enough for Japan. There are several things I enjoyed about the book- the girl who suddenly becomes a princess, her moxie for what she believes in, the "who dunnit" small situation, and that the romance is not altogether cheesy. For those who like series, there's apparently a #2 coming our way, so that's going to be fun, too!
