As I starting reading this book, I was immediately thrown back into the book, "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid. For starters, Evie and her grandmother, Evelyn share a name with the book's titular character and Evelyn's ex-husband, James Jenkins, shares a name with the author. Throw in a story about a Hollywood star and her up and coming granddaughter, I couldn't help but see the parallels. I don't know if this was intentional or purely coincidental, but I loved both "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and "Now That I've Found You" by Kristina Forest.
When I first started reading this book, I was a little inpatient with Evie. She seemed like a brat and I was angry about how she kept pushing people away. As her relationship with Milo grew, I began to care for Evie more. I loved that this story featured intergenerational conflict and that Evie ends up learning a lot about herself through her grandmother. This book was a lot of fun and I couldn't wait to see how it ended. If you like YA/coming of age type stories that feature Hollywood stars and creative types, this is the book for you! And if you loved "Evelyn Hugo", I'm sure you would enjoy this book as well!
