A love letter to the craft and romance of film and
fate in front of – and behind – the camera from the award-winning author of Hold Still.
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 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 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.

High school junior Leila has made it most of the
way through Armstead Academy without having a crush on anyone, which is
something of a relief. Her Persian heritage already makes her different from
her classmates; if word got out that she liked girls, life would be twice as
hard. But when a sophisticate, beautiful new girl, Saskia, shows up, Leila starts
to take risks she never thought she would, especially when it looks as if the
attraction between them is mutual. Struggling to sort out her growing feelings
and Saskia’s confusing signals, Leila confides in her old friend, Lisa, and grows
closer to her fellow drama tech-crew members , especially Tomas, whose comments
about his own sexuality are frank, funny, wise, and sometimes painful. Gradually,
Leila begins to see that almost all her classmates are more complicated than
they first appear to be, and many are keeping secrets of their own.
And, of course, anything else David
Levithan and Emily M Danforth EVER WRITE.
