Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
One of Cosmo 's Best YA of 2022
A bighearted novel about falling in love, making a mess, and learning to let go, from Emma Lord, the New York Times bestselling author of the Reese Witherspoon YA Book Club pick You Have a Match.
**An Indie Next Pick**
Nothing will get in the way of Millie Price's dream of becoming a Broadway star. Not her lovable but super introverted dad, who raised Millie alone since she was a baby. Not her drama club rival, Oliver, who is the very definition of Simmering Romantic Tension. And not her "Millie Moods," the feelings of intense emotion that threaten to overwhelm. Millie needs an ally. And when an accidentally left-open browser brings Millie to her dad's embarrassingly moody LiveJournal from 2003, Millie knows just what to do--find her mom.
But how can you find a new part of your life and expect it to fit into your old one without leaving any marks? And why is it that when you go looking for the past, it somehow keeps bringing you back to what you've had all along?
PRAISE FOR EMMA LORD:
"Brimming with energy, rapid-fire banter, and affectionate theater references, this memorable Mamma Mia! retelling...thoughtfully pays homage while skillfully modernizing it for today's readers." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Chock-full of musical theater references and humor, the novel includes high-stakes emotional drama that is balanced by supportive friendships and strong, deep family connections...An entertaining personal journey with plot twists galore." - Kirkus Reviews

Grades 7-9 Wednesday Books.
Millie Price deals with her lovable but introverted dad, her drama club rival, Oliver, and her "Millie Moods," the feelings of intense emotion that threaten to overwhelm, but when an accidentally left-open browser brings Millie to her dad's embarrassingly moody LiveJournal, Millie knows she must find her mom.
Millie Price won't let anything get in the way of her dream to become a Broadway star. Not her super-introverted dad; not her pesky and ongoing drama club rival, Oliver; not even the feelings of intense emotion that threaten to overwhelm, always at maddeningly inconvenient times. When a left-open browser brings Millie to her dad's LiveJournal from 2003, she decides she's going to find her mom. But how can you find a new part of your life and expect it to fit into your old one, without leaving any marks? -- adapted from jacket
