Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour
2.0
I love knowing about the behind the scenes of a movie. These parts were so well-written as if it’s from someone in the industry (which makes more sense since Nina LaCour went to sets herself and talked to people in the industry). I just want to say that I love all the details that Emi put into a set, because it’s true that all these little details sums up the character.
Now, although I’m amused by Emi’s talents, I’m just confused as it felt unrealistic. We didn’t get any backstories of how she became so good at it, or how she became interested to it and worked on improving her skills. I wasn’t sure if a fresh high school graduate is capable of designing a set right away by looking at it. I thought, “well maybe nothing is impossible in Hollywood”, but maybe she’s also just privileged.
Despite the mystery touch in the story, everything was predictable. It wouldn’t make you guess, it’s all there. Though this story will be good for those who wants a little mystery but doesn’t want to think about what will happen next.
We started the few chapters seeing how Emi was kind of obssessed with her ex and suddenly, she decided to stop thinking about her and all that. So I was hoping she wouldn’t make a move on Ava right away. She didn’t, but even Ava’s feelings for her, felt forced and rushed. There was just no chemistry. At all. I get that this is LaCour’s first f/f but when Emi complimented Ava’s FEET, i was like... what....
The ending also seem rushed. Everything was happening so quickly.
I have a lot of problems in this than I imagined when I picked it up but I still want to give it 2 stars for the story it gave about family and the sad stuff that can be relatable.
