Meet Miriko, the newest up-and-coming pop star to climb the charts. Born to a German father and Japanese mother, the family moved from Germany to Japan when Miriko was little. Never feeling at home in regular society, she found her place among celebrities after getting scouted by Japan's biggest record label. Bubbly and effervescent, Miriko's voice charms audiences across the country. And her chance meeting with Eva changes the trajectories of both their lives.

🌸And that's all four of our main characters! Now which love interest are you asking on a date?#indieauthor #writing #selfpublishing #heartshapedkaraokebox #artistsoninstagram #bookrecommendations #japan #jpopidol #japanesemusic #ayumihamasaki

Meet Yuya Fujiwara, an accomplished tattoo artist in Takaishi. Eva didn't expect nor invite this intimidating presence, but when Yuya shows his softer side to her, she starts to change her opinion on him. Yuya worms his way into her heart, then slowly changes, and everything blows up when Eva finds out the secret Yuya and Tobio have been keeping for 10 years.

To be clear, I did only find 3 typos on this read through. The rest of the flags are for grammar, wording and triple checking stuff 😅

✨️ BOOK COVER REVEAL ✨️
COMING IN FEBRUARY

Blurb: "Culture shock is nothing compared to this.

Eva Calabrese lives with her parents and wants out of her dead-end job, so when her former college classmate, Tobio, reconnects with her, she makes the leap across the planet to teach English in Japan.

In Osaka, Eva is confronted by the Japanese language and culture, while navigating her feelings for Tobio, but everything changes one night at karaoke when she’s kissed by the intimidatingly handsome tattoo artist, Yuya.

But when Eva learns of a devastating secret involving both Tobio and Yuya, and she flees from Osaka to the sprawl of Tokyo where a chance encounter with Japan’s rising female pop star, Miriko, changes Eva’s life forever.

Will she learn from her floundering and thrive in a foreign country or have to go back home to Canada?

This fast-paced account from debut author E. R. Hann examines the pain and power of broken hearts, celebrity life, and growing up."
