This is a beautiful story about family that features a lot of classic books and a pretty awesome scavenger hunt.

I really liked Miranda, the MC, she always felt close to her parents, especially her mother. She believed that she knew almost everything about their past and her own. Except what her mom and uncle Billy fought about so many years ago. As she works her way through the scavenger hunt Billy left for her, her world is rocked by what she discovers.

Her adventures make her rethink her relationships and future direction. She gets to know herself and her mother so much better and really grows through this journey.

The supporting characters were not as well defined for me, though the female characters felt more defined than the male. And the romance elements fell a little flat for me because I didn’t feel any chemistry between the characters. That being said, this isn’t a romance, so those plot lines were minor.

On the whole, I really enjoyed this story and would be interested in reading more by this author.
