When You Get the Chance by Emma Lord
5.0
Millie dreams of being a Broadway star, and when her dad doesn’t agree to send her to a pre-college program, she needs an ally. After stumbling across her dad’s LiveJournal from 2003, she gets some clues about who her mom is. She narrows it down to 3 women, thanks to some Facebook sleuthing, and creates and plan to meet and get to know them, with hopes that she’ll find out who her mom is.
This Mamma Mia inspired book was SO MUCH FUN. If you’re looking for a fun YA coming of age read with a funny best friend, a rivals to lovers relationship, NYC adventures, with your typical high school shenanigans and family drama, all peppered with alllll the Broadway references, this is the book for you. I love Emma Lord’s previous books, but this one os by far my favorite of her work! This book made me so happy so go read it now.
I was very thankful to have received both ebook and audiobook copies because I didn’t want to put this down, and switching between the two formals made it possible to read it all through without really having to stop. Both formats were incredible - but I want to give a shoutout to the narrator of the audiobook who beautiful captured Millie’s larger than life personality and all of the teenage feelings.
Thanks to Wednesday Books, Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the advanced copies!
