YA
Three teens who have never met but share a blog devoted to Audrey Hepburn convene in NYC to spend a day reenacting scenes from Breakfast at Tiffany's. The schedule gets derailed, and narrator Gemma learns that being fabulous can feel "empty." Readers may tire of the "dahlings!," but there's real substance to what becomes a story about grief, identity, and friendship.

Author and illustrator notes detail the lasting influence of Hepburn's achievements and charisma. Timeline. Bib.
