→When You Get The Chance, by Emma Lord
Nothing will get in the way of Millie Price’s dream to become a Broadway star. Not her lovable but super-introverted dad, who after raising Millie alone, doesn’t want to watch her leave home to pursue her dream. Not her pesky and ongoing drama club rival, Oliver, who is the very definition of Simmering Romantic Tension. And not the “Millie Moods,” the feelings of intense emotion that threaten to overwhelm, always at maddeningly inconvenient times. Millie needs an ally. And when a left-open browser brings Millie to her dad’s embarrassingly moody LiveJournal from 2003, Millie knows just what to do. She’s going to find her mom.
If I don’t have the answers, and my dad can’t give them to me, then maybe someone will.
Teddy opens the door so fast that I almost trip into it.
“What are you-”
“I want to find them,” I tell him. “Her, I mean. My mom.”
“This is escalating very quickly,” says Teddy, clearly recognizing the full magnitude of the Millie Mood I am in. “Are you sure?”
This time I am. I walk in, shoving the door closed behind me, and hold out my hand for his phone. “Amanda Seyfried walked so Millie Price could run.”
Millie Mia, here she goes again!
