This is one of those stories than can pull you out of a book slump and just lighten your mood altogether. I loved this book! It’s such a FUN read, but also there were so many interesting elements propelling the story forward at every point. When Evie shows up in NYC, Gigi disappears and Evie is stuck with a young musician, Milo, who seems to be her best shot at finding Gigi in time for the award ceremony they both need to attend by the end of the week. Her grandma’s ex has asked that Evie get Gigi’s approval before they can sign Evie on. Her grandmother isn’t on speaking terms with her ex-husband, who just happens to be remaking the movie - and costarred with her in the first release. The only movie opportunity that comes her way months later is a remake of her grandmother’s first major movie, but there’s a problem. She’s dropped from the film immediately and effectively blackballed in the industry. Evie has just snagged a role with a well known director when a video of her drunkenly mocking his British accent surfaces. Her grandmother (Gigi) is a movie star and her parents are documentary film makers who travel the world for their career. This book focuses on Evie, an up and coming actress with a family in the film-making industry. I read her debut, which I reviewed (plus, I also interviewed her) here. Now That I’ve Found You is Kristina Forest’s sophomore YA novel.
