Review : Love in Translation - Wendy Nelson Tokunga -2009

Meet Celeste Duncan , she has no family, a dead-end career and a boyfriend who won't do anything due to a perfection complex. Out of the Blue , Celeste receives a strange phone call telling her that an Aunt of hers has passed away , which Celeste thinks is odd as she has been in foster care since the age of 10 when the system couldn't find any living relatives. Over the next few days , she receives a box full of heirlooms that might just lead her to the question she's been asking all her life - who is my father ? . On an impulse , Celeste catches a plane to Japan where she meets a mixture of Characters from The Kubota's - Her Homestay Family ,Mariko - her crazy Japanese language instructor to Sakuri Santora - The host of a Japanese TV Show and the ex-girlfriend of Takuya (the guy Celeste accidentally asked to marry him).

So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program.

Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
