I was not prepared for just how much a enjoyed this YA coming of age story about a Clae, a young Black teenager who has never known much about her father. Growing up with just her mom Clae has always felt a piece of her identity was missing.

When she stumbles upon a mysterious 'Fairy god somebody' who has been helping her mother out, she takes the opportunity to try to learn more when she's in New York for a summer internship. NYC is a wonderful experience for Clae where she befriends two other Black girls with their own issues and meets a new guy who is all too happy to show her the city.

Full of female friendship, romance, great disability rep (Clae has asthma and her friend Nze has a condition that's causing her to go blind), African American history and a family mystery, this was wonderful on audio narrated by Angel Pean and perfect for fans of books like Keah Brown's The secret summer promise.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review!
