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.
Initial thoughts:Everything Leads to You reminded me why I fell in love with reading in the first place. Even though this isn’t a book I devoured in a night or two, it gave me comfort. The past few weeks, this book offered me companionship, gave me reasons to smile, and be hopeful about dreams again. It also reminded me what it’s like to find yourself at the precipice of love and to cling onto those reasons too for the times you need that lift to persevere.
