Kind Words

  • "Expect YA wonder with adult-level spice. Definitely “best books of 2022” material."

    GLAMOUR on Mika In Real Life

  • “When you are craving a loveable story with depth and true character development—this should be your next read.”

    MARIE CLAIRE on Mika in Real Life

  • “A beautiful tale of love, trust and forgiveness”

    GOOD HOUSEKEEPING on Mika In Real Life

  • “Jean gently balances the comedy of Mika juggling her fabrications with the complicated nature of adoption, ultimately offering readers a book that’s sure to make them laugh, cry, and hug when it’s over. Mika in Real Life is a moving blend of humor and heart.”

    BUST on Mika in Real Life

  • “Jean sets her novel within the Asian American community of Portland, Oregon. Her characters are modern and honest, and the romance is realistic. Smart, funny, and affecting.”

    BOOKLIST on Tokyo Ever After

  • "Jean gives us authentic characters, a lot of laughs, and a chance to see our own relationships—with our mothers, our children, and ourselves—in a new and refreshing light.”

    AMAZON BOOK REVIEW on Mika in Real Life

  • “Mika didn’t just bust the model minority myth, she ran it over with a Mack truck.”

    THE DAILY WAFFLE

  • “Mika in Real Life is the kind of book that will surely get you back into reading.”

    SHONDALAND

  • “’Mika in Real Life’ has heart, and it touched mine.”
