December 22, 2025 Carmi D says:
I read this for the family secrets and coming-of-age story, but stayed for the musical references. Highly suggest pairing with Selena's "Live" album.
When her beloved grandmother passes away, 14-year-old Lulu is drawn to the glamorous stranger who crashed the funeral. Their unexpected kinship picks at the secrets of Lulu's family and a curse that reverberates across generations.

Carmi D

I work in adult services, and I'm mostly drawn to books with unforgettable characters or a plot twist I didn't see coming. I love anything with a great story-- books, movies, TV shows. I also love flipping through cookbooks, although I'll admit, I'm more interested in eating than cooking. Besides reading, I enjoy listening to music, practicing yoga and lying beachside.
