Thank you to Partner @bibliolifestyle @blackstonepublishing for this free book and to LibroFM for the complimentary audiobook. These opinions are my own.
Check out this amazing cover. It depicts the two stories we follow in this new Mamma Mia inspired sapphic YA romance. Mia was raised by her grandmothers and never got to know her mom, Tori Rose. Tori Rose was a country music store, and everyone seems to have pieces of information about her, but no one can tell Mia about who she actually was. And then when she graduates high school, Mia gets a series of letters from her mother that lead her on a treasure hunt to learning her history. We learn about Tori Rose and get chapters from her perspective at the same pacing that Mia learns about her mother.
I found this story so beautiful. While it does include a sweet YA friends-to-lovers romance with Mia's best friend, it's largely a coming of age story. As she seeks out more information about her mother, Mia learns more about herself.
The writing was lovely. I especially appreciated the incorporation of song lyrics throughout and just how much this book centered music. I enjoyed both timelines and meeting all of the characters. And of course, I loved the Oregon Coast setting. This was a delight to read.
