Evie Jones is the next big up-and-coming starlet; that is until her career comes crashing down around her as she’s enveloped in a very public shaming. Luckily, Evie is Hollywood royalty, being the granddaughter of the very famous, yet elusive, actress Evelyn Conway, or Gigi to Evie. Evie is approached with the opportunity of a lifetime to save her career, as long as Gigi can give her blessing. However, just one day into Evie’s NYC visit with Gigi, Gigi disappears. It’s been 20 years since Gigi has been in the spotlight. Will she be able to help her granddaughter?
This read was sort of out of my comfort zone, but I’m glad I was offered the chance to try it out. Evie is a typical teenager, and written as so: the character is very believable, but also very teenage girl selfish. Of course there’s a meet-cute, of course she hates him at first, of course you know how it ends up. I liked the way that Gigi was written, although I was also sort of annoyed that she’d leave her granddaughter in NYC all alone with little to no familiarity of the city. Maybe I just hate Hollywood types.
All-in-all, this was a quick, cute read. I think my annoyance with the characters sort of endeared me to them in the long run. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy!
