Thanks to the publisher for providing an eARC of When You Get the Chance in exchange for an honest review!

This was such a blast! When You Get the Chance is Mamma Mia for theatre kids (and I know, how much more theatre kid could Mamma Mia possibly get but this has both a 'which of these 3 adults is the parent' AND theatre kid plotline) and it does it all with a whole lot of heart and a very adorable enemies to reluctant coworkers to friends to maybe lovers love story at its helm. I had an absolute blast with this one and loved how real all of Lord's characters felt here.

Such a fun time whether or not you're a theatre kid/Mamma Mia fan, but if you are one, you're in for an even bigger treat.

Another soulful and delightfully sweet novel from Emma Lord, with a fresh twist on Mamma Mia. I loved Millie and admired her confidence and maturity. It’s so refreshing to read a YA bildungsroman that isn’t centered around romance.

I only wish the Milkshake Club was real!

3.5 Millie Moods :)!!

In “When You Get A Chance”, we follow Millie in search of her mother while she practices dance moves, and starts an internship with her friend/enemy, Oliver.

This was a wholesome heartwarming story! I loved all the characters and their banter. With every novel that Emma Lord writes, she perfects her craft more and more and I love it! The second half of the book really stood out to me. I wish the beginning of the book was a bit more fast paced as I found it hard to get into. But overall, it did not affect my enjoyment! Also- the COVER is so pretty!!

Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC copy of When You Get A Chance

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange of an honest review. When Emma Lord announced this book was out for request on NetGalley I ran to request it, with just two books under her belt Emma Lord has become my favorite YA writer and When You Get the Chance didn't disappoint. Filled with musicals and Broadway and fun characters and witty characters this book is one of my favorite reads so far into the year.

I loved this so much! The cover is fantastic and the story was so great, really heartwarming. I adore how family centric Emma Lord's books are, this one especially with Millie's Mamma Mia style search for her mother, and I was tearing up by the end because I loved this story and its characters so much!

Broadway hopeful had my full attention! Mamma Mia inspired read had my attention!
I was all over this cute, funny, adorable book!
I absolutely loved this book! And now I've got to read You Have A Match!
Because Emma's writing is spectacular, remarkable, superb! Its just everything really!
Eight months before this cute book is released I've devoured it already I couldn't help myself!

So I can't thank NetGalley, Wednesday Books and Emma enough for this advanced ebook!

Ill post to my Goodreads and Bookstagram closer to pub date
