“Tokunaga depicts Midori's determination to create her own version of the American dream with exuberance [in this] delectably frothy debut.”
—Publishers’ Weekly

"Tokunaga suffuses the book with warmth and lightness .....Just as the right dessert hits the spot, reading this delicious slice of escapism makes for a perfect afternoon. But instead of suffering a sugar crash afterward, you'll muse for days about the characters you've left behind and why they matter so much to you.
—San Francisco Chronicle

“A delightful debut novel.” —Tokyo Metropolis

“A surprisingly pleasurable read.”—Daily Yomiuri

Author Lauren Baratz-Logsted (Vertigo) says, “A delightful fusion of East meeting West, as if Banana Yoshimoto and Meg Cabot got together to create a romantic comedy.”

Wendy's next book is LOVE IN TRANSLATION, coming from St. Martin's in Fall 2009.
