I know this shouldn't be an official part of my review, but I just can't help but mention that it warms my heart to see books with f/f relationships where the entire plot of the book isn't about 1) everyone around that character being homophobic, or 2) the two characters spending the entire book not knowing if the other is straight. Ava and Emi had great chemistry, and I like that this book talked about the difference between movies and real life, how people glamorize one another, and how in reality, real life is so different than in movies. I rarely read books that are just strictly fun anymore, so this was a lovely change of pace that kept me interested even though I'm not the biggest fan of books about the movie industry. I thought Emi was a good lens from which the story is told, and her friendships with Charlotte and Ava were so cute and realistic. The main thing I enjoyed about this book is the characters. I really enjoyed the narrator and the story, so it was a fun listen! But I proved to myself that once again, I have a tendency to let details slip through the cracks when I listen to audiobooks.

I'm trying to get back into audiobooks, and knowing that contemporary and memoirs are the funnest to listen to, I gave this one a try. Reading all books with LGBTQ+ rep for pride this month!īook 4: the affair of the mysterious letter now i'm rereading it after having read EVERY nina lacour.

I liked this.way more than the first time? Well, I'd at least like to be inside that story forever, if I cannot be the story itself. If I cannot be a teenage set designer with exactly one best friend living in LA, with parents who order garlic-based takeout every night and have cool jobs, who is usually on a quest of some kind and ultimately falls in love. I would like to live inside this book, please.

Everything leads to you
