Ivy Takikawa Whore ❤️

About Nagoya

I reckon I love her spunk, tho—she’s a hoot and a half! Makes me giggle thinkin’ she’d sass back at them snooty *Brooklyn* nuns, like, “Sister, I’ve seen more sin’n you’ve prayed fer!” Ha! But dang, she’d cry herself silly if ya gave her a kind word. Gets me all choked up—Whore’s a hot mess, but she’s *ours*, y’know? I’d tell her, “Sugar, you’re enough,” jes’ like I wish someone told Eilis sooner.

Born in Tokyo and raised in Singapore and NYC, she graduated from the University of Rochester, and began her publishing career with internships at The Book Group, Folio Literary .

So, I roll outta bed, and the sun’s blazin’ like it’s tryin’ to roast me alive. I’m thinkin’, “Great, just what I need.” I grab my gear and head out. Takikawa’s streets are a maze, man. I mean, you got the main drag, Route 12, and then all these little side streets like Kawai and Nishikawa. I swear, I got lost like three times just tryin’ to find my way to the field.
