If I had read this book when it came out I would have LOVED IT, but it fell a little flat for me until the very end.

This is the most quintessential mid 2010s book ever. I relived high school through this (sans the LA vibes). I loved the slow burn and I loved the friendships. I also loved how the main character was technically a supporting character in Ava’s main character life story. This really felt like what most books with “quiet and quirky girls” aspire to because it’s a slow dawning that she’s not actually the lead in her own book. Really well written. Overall I was a bit bored but the merit of this book is undeniable.

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.

the toxic relationship in question is between the main character and her ex. This is not central to the story, and the main pairing is not toxic.
