A wunderkind young set designer, Emi has already started to find her way in the competitive Hollywood film world.

Emi is a film buff and a true romantic, but her real-life relationships are a mess. She has desperately gone back to the same girl too many times to mention. But then a mysterious letter from a silver screen legend leads Emi to Ava. Ava is unlike anyone Emi has ever met. She has a tumultuous, not-so-glamorous past, and lives an unconventional life. She’s enigmatic…. She’s beautiful. And she is about to expand Emi’s understanding of family, acceptance, and true romance.

My Rating:✰✰✰✰✰

Brief Overall Review:

I loved this book so much more than I thought I was going to. I didn't really know what to expect, other than that the main protagonist is a production designer, but this book was filled with love, friendship, and so many more incredible things. Also, yay for GLBT characters! This is such a great contemporary book that I would recommend to everyone! Go read it!

Spoiler Review:

My favorite part of this book was Emi's job, a designer for movie sets which I love. Other than books, I have a huge love for movies and I totally understood why Emi loved them so much. Reading about her job made me really want to work on the set of a movie. I loved reading about her working on the different sets and getting a feel of what an actual move set would be like.

The writing was so good! It has, what I call, the feel writing, where in some scenes, I actually could feel what was happening. There was true passion coming from the book that you could feel! Nina's writing is great and beautiful, yet not overwhelming!

The plot was great and I had no idea that there was going to be a mystery involved! But I loved how everything came together and just worked out. I loved how her brother, Toby, told her to do something epic with the place, and they did!

I truly loved reading about the characters. I loved Emi's character and Charlotte! Their friendship is by fair the best friendship I've read in a while! I loved how they were always there for each other and they would tell one another that they loved each other! Learning more about Ava was also great and I loved the complexity of her family history. Learning about Caroline and the late Clyde was so interesting. Acting has always interested me.

This book just felt so full of life and made me so happy. Also, the last line is perfection!
