I listed to an audio copy of Now That I've Found You.

This was a cute YA rom com centered around finding your identity and the pressure of fitting into a family legacy.

The main character, Evie Jones is a young movie star just making the breaks when a friend betrays her by posting a video on social media where Evie is making fun of a famous director. Embarassed and afraid that she has let her family down, Evie heads to NYC to stay with her grandmother, Gigi.

Gigi is a renowned film star in her own right but has also been in the center of media drama before - so Evie believes that Gigi can help her repair her image.
When Evie arrives to NYC, she finds that Milo (a young up & coming musician) is living with Gigi. Evie is jealous and skeptical of Milo's motives.

What ensues is a friendship between Evie and Milo as they attempt to find out what lead to Gigi's estrangement from her husband and why she is refusing to show up to an awards ceremony on Sunday.

Given the backdrop of social media, paparazzi and family pressures - Evie is looking to find her own voice and see if she can trust again. While the specifics are unique - the storyline of finding your own identity, learning to trust again after being hurt and being true to yourself are relatable for everyone.
