Emi and her best friend Charlotte are housesitting for the summer while working as production interns on a movie set. A mystery letter sets the young women on a journey that ends with Ava, a deceased movie star’s secret granddaughter. Abandoned and homeless, Ava attracts Emi’s attention but complications arise.
EVERYTHING LEADS TO YOU reminded me why I love Nina LaCour’s books so much, flawed characters on emotional journeys. Everyone needs a champion like Emi and a best friend like Charlotte. LaCour’s beautiful writing flows beautifully from page to page because I cared about Emi, Charlotte and Ava. Plot-wise, the story was somewhat contrived and predictable, which wasn’t an issue for me because EVERYTHING LEADS TO YOU is character, not plot, centric.
EVERYTHING LEADS TO YOU is better the the blurb and a heartfelt story.
