I need to take a break from retellings. For me they are just getting too repetitive.

It's always a good day when you finish a book and go "you know what they've officially hit favorite author status." Emma Lord hit those early 00s vibes on the head. Our protagonist, Millie, is headstrong and theater-kid levels of dramatic which makes for the perfect popcorn-eating levels of drama.

I received an ecopy of this book through Netgalley; however, my opinions are my own.

It made my cry a bit at ~85% (#Mom) 🥹 Every character is super cute and the pacing was great! There was a lot going on but I was never confused and every string got tied up beautifully. Also: That love story was soooo cuteee!! 💕

Maybe my favorite Emma Lord book to date. So charming and the best writing of all of her books. I really liked the brief nod to big league burger.

Enemies to lovers. Forced proximity. Scheming to find her long lost mom - Momma Mia inspired
