Summary:
Mia becomes frustrated with her classmates when they ignore the good advice she gives them for all their problems. So she creates an anonymous social media account called HereToHelp to see if they'll listen to her advice if they don't know it's her. Now Mia is finally being heard. The problem? Her advice is working a little too well, and her life is getting complicated. She needs advice of her own to navigate how to interact with the girl of her dreams and other senior year situations.

Full Text Reviews:
Booklist - 11/01/2024 High-school senior Mia has supported friends and castmates on- and offstage for years behind the scenes of every school production. In her official capacity as a black-clad “techie,” she invisibly ensures the show goes on. Unofficially, she is an agony aunt to all, quick to give advice on any topic from romance to power tools. Never mind that hours spent on Reddit haven’t made Mia an expert on anything yet; everyone would see her wisdom if they would only listen to her. When a staple-gun mishap on set makes it clear not even her best friends do, Mia devises a scheme to get the respect she deserves. While an anonymous social-media account may not exactly yield the validation she’s seeking, juggling the stress of a new relationship, discovering and keeping secrets, and planned-but-unexpected popularity soon have Mia in over her head. Snarky, know-it-all Mia is endearing and her flaws true to life, but she may chafe some readers. A coming-of-age ace romance perfect for theater nerds, though with few musical theater references, this should garner broader appeal. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
