When Mia graduated high school, she faces a summer of goodbyes, including one to her best friend, Britt, who is leaving Sunset Cove to go follow her dreams of being a music star in Nashville. Can Mia find it in herself to go too? Agonizing over her decision, while being haunted by the loss of her mother who left everything she knew to be a star, she embarks on a "follow the clues" hunt to find out what her mother always hoped she would know.

This book was delightful. I cried multiple times, just aching for Mia to understand she is so so loved and everyone wants her to follow her dreams, even if she isn't sure yet. Britt is the kind of friend/partner that I used to dream of having, and the way her mother was loved, and loved her, it's just heart wrenching. I highly recommend this book, thank you to Blackstone and Netgalley for letting me read it early!
