內容簡介 Rika是日美混血女孩。她的媽媽在生下她後去世，Rika由阿姨撫養長大。表姊妹一家都以迪士尼人物為名，走可愛公主路線，而Rika剛硬、火爆，而且還是柔道高手，個性、風格和表姊妹截然不同，不過Rika還是很愛他們。每年，小東京都會舉辦歡樂的Nikkei Week Festival。今年，也不例外。Rika也湊熱鬧，參加歡樂遊行。行進間，日裔美籍的大明星Grace Kimura竟然叫了Rika的名字…。Rika左思右想，難道這位甜心可能是她從小就失去的母親？為什麼阿姨要說媽媽去世這種謊呢？在Grace的搭檔，演員Hank Chen的幫助下，Rika決定開始追查Grace，找出自己的身世。極具個人色彩、詼諧的現代童話。 作者Sarah Kuhn，第三代日裔美國人。創作許多女英雄漫畫，也喜歡寫外星人、浪漫小說或芭比故事。 Ever feel like you're stuck in a fairy tale gone wrong? Celebrated author Sarah Kuhn explores the highs and lows of love and loss in this funny and poignant story of a girl who never thought happy endings were for people like her. "I absolutely adored this funny, fierce, big-hearted book." -Morgan Matson, New York Times bestselling author of Save the Date Celebrated author Sarah Kuhn reinvents the modern fairy tale in this intensely personal yet hilarious novel of a girl whose search for a storybook ending takes her to unexpected places in both her beloved LA neighborhood and her own guarded heart. If Rika's life seems like the beginning of a familiar fairy tale--being an orphan with two bossy cousins and working away in her aunts' business--she would be the first to reject that foolish notion. After all, she loves her family (even if her cousins were named after Disney characters), and with her biracial background, amazing judo skills and red-hot temper, she doesn't quite fit the princess mold. All that changes the instant she locks eyes with Grace Kimura, America's reigning rom-com sweetheart, during the Nikkei Week Festival. From there, Rika embarks on a madcap adventure of hope and happiness--searching for clues that Grace is her long-lost mother, exploring Little Tokyo's hidden treasures with cute actor Hank Chen, and maybe...finally finding a sense of belonging. But fairy tales are fiction and the real world isn't so kind. Rika knows she's setting herself up for disappointment, because happy endings don't happen to girls like her. Should she walk away before she gets in even deeper, or let herself be swept away?
