The award-winning author of We Are Okay and Hold Still returns with another beautifully crafted coming-of-age journey about embracing your past, and finding love when you least expect it; set within the Los Angeles film world.
Just out of high school, Emi Price is a talented young set designer already beginning to thrive in the L.A. film scene. But her artistic eye has failed her in one key area: helping her to design a love life that’s more than make-believe. Then she finds a mysterious letter at an estate sale, and it sends her chasing down the loose ends of a movie icon’s hidden life. And along the way, she finds Ava, and at long last, Emi’s own hidden life begins to bloom.
I loved the fact that Emi, the protagonist was a set designer. That was like the coolest thing to read about. It was so fun and interesting.
And I loved the whole story of her finding the letter and then trying to get it to the person it was for. The way everything came together in one of those it-was-meant-to-be and fate type of ways.
