"I felt like I was in Tokyo with Lilyn and Yua, and I never wanted to leave." --Becky Albertalli, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

A teen goth fashion designer travels to Tokyo, Japan, where she meets a tattoo artist apprentice who may just be the one to change her mind about love--part of the international Love in Translation series of standalone YA romances.

Lilyn Jeong is living her best life--in Tokyo! She gets to learn from the legendary yet notoriously terrifying tailor Mrs. Matsumoto. Getting a glowing recommendation from her could be Lilyn's ticket into her dream fashion school.

So when Lilyn is tasked with designing an entire collection, panic sets in. She has only weeks to figure out how to mix her goth aesthetic with traditional Japanese style. Thankfully, Mrs. Matsumoto's rebellious, tattooed, rainbow-haired daughter Yua offers to help.

But going on cozy dates with this cute girl is way easier than sewing yukatas. Can Lilyn find a path forward in fashion and love? Or will she watch as everything falls apart at the seams?

The swoony Love in Translation romances can be read together or separately:
