Perfect for fans of Rachel Lynn Solomon, Mary H. K. Choi, and Alex Light! From the critically acclaimed author of Seven Percent of Ro Devereux comes another heartrending and nuanced novel about family, love, and the cost of ambition.
âA compelling, beautifully drawn exploration into complicated family and personal relationships and the frailty and fortitude of a girl simply trying to succeed, love, and thrive. Iâm proud to live in a book world where Ellen OâClover is writing contemporary young adult fiction. The Someday Daughter is a forever treasure.â âLaura Taylor Namey, New York Times bestselling author of A Cuban Girlâs Guide to Tea and Tomorrow
Audrey St. Vrain has grown up in the shadow of someone who doesnât actually exist. Before she was born, her mother, Camilla St. Vrain, wrote the bestselling book Letters to My Someday Daughter, a guide to self-love that advises treating yourself like you would your own hypothetical future daughter. The book made Audreyâs mother a household name, and she built an empire around it.
While the world considers Audrey lucky to have Camilla for a mother, the truth is that Audrey knows a different side of being the someday daughter. Shipped off to boarding school when she was eleven, she feels more like a promotional tool than a member of Camillaâs family. Audrey is determined to create her own identity aside from being Camillaâs daughter, and sheâs looking forward to a prestigious summer premed program with her boyfriend before heading to college and finally breaking free from her motherâs world.
But when Camilla asks Audrey to go on tour with her to promote the bookâs anniversary, Audrey canât help but think that this is the last, best chance to figure out how they fit into each otherâs livesânot as the someday daughter and someday mother but as themselves, just as they are. What Audrey doesnât know is that spending the summer with Camilla and her tour staffâincluding the disarmingly honest, distressingly cute video intern, Silasâwill upset everything sheâs so carefully planned for her life.
