“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!

This book was just ok. The plot was nice and intriguing however there was not buildup to sudden things that developed in the book. In addition some character felt creepy and awkward in the story. The ending also felt a little bit rushed and confusing at the end. This book was just average.
