Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Jordyn on August 04, 2025

I am SO. SAD. that this book didn't work for me. I am a Brittney Morris STAN, because I've given 3 of her previous books 5 stars. This book was just missing something in terms of plot and pacing to keep me interested. I felt like the first 75% dragged because we already knew what was happening, and......more

This Book Might Be About Zinnia by Britney Morris. Thanks to @simonteen for the gifted Arc ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Zinnia Davis doesn’t know much about her birth parents.

Goodreads review by LiteraryMarie on June 08, 2025

Told in two timelines, two very different girls at the same age share a connection. In 2024, Zinnia gets a heads up on her personal essay to Harvard University; it lacks heart.
