#16 Tokyo Dreaming by Emiko Jean

This direct sequel to Tokyo Ever After, follows what happens when Izumi’s mom comes for a visit to the palace and doesn’t leave.  The torch both the Crown Prince and Izumi’s mom have carried for each other has never really faltered.  Prince Toshihito has proposed to Hanako and she has accepted. Now the only stumbling blocks seem to be her background and the Imperial Household.  Izzy is trying to be the perfect princess, so things will go more smoothly for her parents.  Izzy applies to college, finds a new boyfriend and hosts one of her friends from Mount Shasta over the winter holidays. There is also some bonding with her and her cousins along the way. There is room at the end of the book for another one  and I am certainly waiting on word for it.
