About this listen
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.
“A 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. I’m proud to live in a book world where Ellen O’Clover is writing contemporary young adult fiction. The Someday Daughter is a forever treasure.” —Laura Taylor Namey, New York Times bestselling author of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow
Audrey St. Vrain has grown up in the shadow of someone who doesn’t 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 Audrey’s 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 Camilla’s family. Audrey is determined to create her own identity aside from being Camilla’s daughter, and she’s looking forward to a prestigious summer premed program with her boyfriend before heading to college and finally breaking free from her mother’s world.
But when Camilla asks Audrey to go on tour with her to promote the book’s anniversary, Audrey can’t help but think that this is the last, best chance to figure out how they fit into each other’s lives—not as the someday daughter and someday mother but as themselves, just as they are. What Audrey doesn’t know is that spending the summer with Camilla and her tour staff—including the disarmingly honest, distressingly cute video intern, Silas—will upset everything she’s so carefully planned for her life.

Such a Wonderful Story of Love and Forgiveness
If you enjoy the words of Jandy Nelson, Robyn Schneider, Nina LaCour, and Allison Larkin, you’re probably going to enjoy The Someday Daughter by Ellen O’Clover,
It’s a novel about about an 18-year-old soon-to-be college freshman, who is coerced into spending her summer with her self-help superstar mother - the parent she’s never felt truly connected to.
It’s a story about resentment, familial secrets, feeling “less than,” and feeling trapped. Ultimately, The Someday Daughter is about an 18-year-old girl who discovers a shocking secret about her mother and, in doing so, comes to understand their complicated relationship much more clearly.
The narration by Taylor Meskimin is fantastic. She performs the myriad emotions Audrey experiences with such grace and sensitivity. This is the first audiobook I have listened to from this narrator, but it won’t be the last. I was completely hijacked by both the performance and the story. Five very big stars.
