From Little Tokyo, with Love

Praise

“Evocatively written and beautiful in its rage, From Little Tokyo, With Love is one to treasure. To mixed race readers especially, this one’s for you. Few heroines have spoken to me like Rika Rakuyama.” 
—Helen Hoang, USA Today bestselling author of The Kiss Quotient
 
“A heartfelt modern-day fairy tale that delivers a sweet romance alongside a thoughtful exploration of identity. From Little Tokyo, With Love takes you on an adventure through Los Angeles–full of family secrets and hidden histories—and its indelible characters will stick with you long after you’ve reached the happily ever after.”
—Maurene Goo, author of Somewhere Only We Know

“This book completely swept me away. Brimming with rich culture and a city that demands to be seen in all its colors and complexities, Sarah Kuhn’s latest novel is a beautiful love letter to biracial kids that’s full of longing, hope, and so much heart.”
—Akemi Dawn Bowman, author of William C. Morris Award Finalist Starfish and The Infinity Courts series 
 
“I so wish this book had been around for the angry, reluctantly romantic hafu teen I was, but luckily it’s here for the angry, reluctantly romantic hafu woman I became. A charming and swoony story for anyone who feels like they don’t belong.”
—Maggie Tokuda-Hall, author of The Mermaid, The Witch, and The Sea

“Readers will cheer for tough-but-tender Rika as she navigates the city of Los Angeles—and her own complicated emotions—in search of love, family, and belonging in this heartwarming pick-me-up of a novel.”
—Misa Sugiura, award-winning author of It’s Not Like It’s a Secret

“Written like a modern fairy tale, this is a thoughtful exploration of finding one’s full identity and sense of place and community…A beautiful and entertaining blend of family, romance, and self-discovery.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Kuhn has created a protagonist who doesn’t fit the mold of a typical ‘princess.’ Instead, she is spirited, fearless, real, and fights tirelessly for what her heart desires. The enthralling dialogue will keep readers engaged as they put together the pieces of the puzzle.”
—School Library Journal
