Heart-Shaped Karaoke Box - Paperback

by E. R. Hann (Author)

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.
