Evie Jones has just landed an exciting new film role and a new product endorsement, and it seems like her acting career is going to skyrocket. Then one day her best friend Simone betrays her, and Evie's career seems to be ruined and her trust in people is broken. Soon Evie is on her way to New York to stay with her famous grandma, Evelyn Conaway, to present her with a lifetime achievement award for acting. Just days before the ceremony, her grandma disappears, leaving Evie frantic with worry. She has no choice but to enlist the help of Milo, the irritating and good looking musician who has been helping her grandma. It is a race against time as they try to find Grandma Evelyn before the ceremony.
I enjoyed this story very much. At first I thought it was going to be full of elitist scandals and drama. While there was some drama, the relationship between Evie and her grandma, as well as Milo, was very heartwarming and full of valuable life lessons. I laughed and teared up more than once, especially at the end. The story is very well written, and the characters are realistic and dynamic. I didn't care for the occasional profanity used, certain views and lifestyles presented, and the emphasis on race. Other than that, I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys young adult fiction and books about various types of relationships.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through the NetGalley Bookish First program. A positive review was not required, and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.
