About this audiobook
"Through this pitch-perfect rom-com, Kristina Forest explores the legacy of family and what it means to be young and full of artistic passion. I was utterly charmed from start to finish." —Maurene Goo, author of Somewhere Only We Know
Now That I've Found You is a YA novel about searching for answers, love, and your eccentric grandma in all the wrong places.
Following in the footsteps of her überfamous grandma, eighteen-year-old Evie Jones is poised to be Hollywood’s next big star. That is until a close friend’s betrayal leads to her being blacklisted . . .
Fortunately, Evie knows just the thing to save her floundering career: a public appearance with America’s most beloved actress—her grandma Gigi, aka the Evelyn Conaway. The only problem? Gigi is a recluse who’s been out of the limelight for almost twenty years. Days before Evie plans to present her grandma with an honorary award in front of Hollywood’s elite, Gigi does the unthinkable: she disappears.
With time running out and her comeback on the line, Evie reluctantly enlists the help of the last person to see Gigi before she vanished: Milo Williams, a cute musician Evie isn’t sure she can trust. As Evie and Milo conduct a wild manhunt across New York City, romance and adventure abound while Evie makes some surprising discoveries about her grandma—and herself.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was a cute teenage romance.. Pretty cool book! ❤
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I found Evie to be a bit annoying but the story was pretty good over all.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This one is a little hard for me when rating. There were aspects of the story that I really enjoyed and others that were just too slow paced.
I really did not like Evie and never really connected with her character. I did enjoy the parts that involved Evie and Milo though and would have liked to see more of them throughout. This really was a romance within a story around a young girl finding herself. It involves some family themes as Evie goes to stay with her famous grandmother. Evie was very selfish most of the story though and was only thinking about herself.
Like I mentioned, I had some pacing issues with this one. I needed something more in the middle of the story as I found myself skimming some of the chapters. There was really not much going on at times.
Overall, this one was only ok for me.
