I really enjoyed this young adult contemporary coming-of-age story about Mia, who embarks on a scavenger hunt set up by her late mom to get answers about her mom (who was a singer) and who her dad is! She also navigates her relationship with her best friend Britt, who is about to begin her own music journey.
Honorable mention to Mia's Nana and Grams; they were adorable, and I love seeing elder queer folks represented. The queer community deserves to grow old and live peaceful lives!
Overall, I read this in two sittings because it was both goofy and tender, and I was rooting for Mia so hard! Her concerns and questions were so understandable, and thought she (like all people and especially teenagers) was a bit of a mess, I appreciated her arc/journey!
