This Book Might Be About Zinnia

By: Brittney Morris

Narrated by: Ariel Blake, Joniece Abbott-Pratt

Clap When You Land meets Monday’s Not Coming in this “compelling, introspective” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) novel told in two timelines as one teen searches for her biological mother and the other copes with giving up her baby from the acclaimed author of SLAY.

Two moments in time. Two very different girls. And one story that connects them both.

It’s the year 2024, and Zinnia Davis is on a mission to ace her personal essay. But when an admissions rep hints that her adoption story is “lacking heart,” she has to figure out a new spin. Frankly, Zinnia doesn’t know much about her birth parents; that is, until her favorite author releases a new novel—Little Heart—about a princess with a heart-shaped birthmark on her forehead and separated from her mother at birth…just like Zinnia. Could this be her birth mother?

Flashback to 2006, and teenager Tuesday Walker is barely making it through high school after experiencing a loss that had her on leave for months. To cope, Tuesday writes a series of entries in a journal, but when the journal is lost, it feels like reliving the trauma all over again. Tuesday’s search for the journal uncovers dangerous secrets about her past, her crush, and her own mother’s story.

If Tuesday isn’t careful in her search, Zinnia will have to reap the consequences in the present.

Go READ!!!

Whewwww this was my first read by the author and now I'm hooked. Its about an adopted teen, Zinnia who searches for her birth mother...but who she thinks is her mother isn't. Zinnia loves books and this one author Jodell pens a book named "Little Heart". The character in the book has a birth mark in the shape of a heart on her forehead, just like Zinnia. This book has Zinnia questioning whether Jodell is her birth mother and goes on a quest to find her. Unbeknownst to Zinnia, her birth mother and father are looking for her too. Ooh the twists and turns Brittany Morris takes us on, whewwww Chileeeeeeeeeee. I'm here for it all, it reminds me of "Mondays Not Coming". The way she goes back in time seamlessly is an art craft 👌🏾 in it's own. I want to divulge but I won't ruin it all, so many turns, you won't regret this read, so go get it. #Book2of2026 #Bookworm #Whatsnext
