The book feels both complete and incomplete. The way the first book in a series is, or a season finale - or, instead, the penultimate episode of a season. The way graduation is. Fitting, given the transitional period Laila finds herself in. Fulfilling, with some finality, but still more waiting on the next blank page. Waiting to be written.

“Interrogate your instincts. Insecurity isn’t shameful. Attraction isn’t an embarrassment. Interpersonal affection isn’t a side note to be glossed over. Whatever the nature of the material that forms between two people, it’s the backbone of literature.”
➽ Final Draft is a fast-paced story of a girl losing herself in her mission to become a better writer. Laila loves writing her sci-fi stories and her teacher always praises her talent, but when he falls ill, she has to deal with his replacement. Nadiya Nazarenko is a Pulitzer Prize–winning writer … but she’s wholly unimpressed with Laila’s writing. Laila is devastated, but eager to earn her idol’s approval, which leads her to go on increasingly eccentric assignments in order to introduce excitement and life into her stories. The exploration of his chaotic and unhealthy mindset was really well done! I was still ticked off that Nadiya got away with giving such horrible advice and dishing out bad grades to all students for so long, it’s a wonder no one did anything to stop her!
