Flamingnet Student Book Reviewer CDi
Celeste Duncan has lead a hard life. She never knew her
father, her mother died when she was young, she moved from
foster home to foster home all her life; never finding a
permanent family, and her boyfriend is always criticizing
her music. She just feels stuck. But when an unexpected
phone call tells her about her late aunt, she must travel
to Tokyo to return the family heirlooms and possibly find
some clues about her father. With her cute homestay
brother, Takuya, they travel Japan trying to find her
family. But things get tough with her nosy homestay
mother, Takuya's ex girlfriend, and her music career.
Will she ever find the family of her dreams?
This book was very good! Celeste is nice, her Japanese
teacher, Mariko, is funny, Takuya is cute, and his ex,
Sakura is annoying. Everything is right. There are a lot
of Japanese words and traditions that are well-explained.
This book makes me want to go to Japan! Love in
Translation did not end the way I thought it would, but I
like this ending better! I could really see this book as
a blockbuster film!
There are a few sexual references,
and one sex scene.
