Becoming Mila

Meet Mila. Sixteen years old, an ordinary LA girl . . . except for her A-list actor dad. With his next big movie premiere on the horizon, the media spotlight is intense – and when Mila’s antics make headlines, something must be done. 

Exit Mila. Dispatched to small-town Tennessee to cool off. It’s summer, she’s off-grid in the middle of nowhere, but Mila’s no sooner arrived than she falls out – in spectacular style – with local mayor’s son, Blake.

Blake knows just how to rattle Mila. He also knows just how she feels. He gets the drama, the dynamics, the tricky parents. Perhaps they have far more in common than either of them cares to admit.

Set in Los Angeles and Nashville over a long hot summer, Becoming Milashimmers with friendship, family frictions and romance. It’s the first book in an exhilarating new trilogy from Estelle Maskame.


Genre: Young Adult Romance

"This is a book that draws you in and won't let you go. I loved it! I loved Mila, I was rooting for her as she adapts to small-town life and learns more about her family – and herself. Although there is a level of suspense and of secrets needing to be uncovered, what I enjoyed most was the perfect creation of the world Mila enters. I wanted to be in Fairview with her, making the friends she makes, having fun with these people, enjoying their ordinary – and not so ordinary – lives. I can’t wait for the next book!" - Gill Stewart
