Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.
Finding out that her A List actor father has created on her mam, and is about to bring an entire world of problems on her summer, is something that Mila Harding didn't need. She was finally finding her place in Fairview, Tennessee, after being exiled for causing scandals for her father on the brink of his latest film promotion, and is happy with her friends, and especially Blake. Now she needs to cope with having her parents, aunt, and grandfather in the same home, escaping the glare of the press to spend time with Blake, and overcoming her jealousy over Blake's ex hanging about. Can Mila deal with the stress, or is her summer doomed to be a calamity of crisis?
After reading Becoming Mila, I knew I needed to read more of this series, so was overjoyed when my review copy arrived. Mila as a character and person, was fantastic. I loved seeing how her growth from the very first scenes of book 1 was still awe-inspiring, and she was really coming into herself, and discovering who Mila is, when she's not the daughter of the famous actor. Honestly, being away from LA, form the glam lifestyle, and to an extent, from her parents, did her the world of good, and I was so pleased that she didn't let her parents return into her life, with all their scandal, ruin her progress. Her and Blake were a fantastic couple, and they really dealt with a lot this summer, but became closer because of it. I do wish we saw a little more of Mila's friends, but overall, it was a perfect sequel to Becoming Mila. If you've read the book, you'll know how heartbreaking the ending is, and I'm not too sure if I can wait for book 3! Another great book from Estelle!
