Über das Buch
From the award-winning author of We Are Okay comes a beautiful coming-of-age novel where a talented young set designer embarks on a quest to unravel the secrets of a legendary movie star.
“This sensitive, multifaceted novel creates an authentic portrayal of the ups and downs of life.”—Kirkus Reviews
“This is summer love for the ages.”—Booklist
“This tenderly wrought romance is as much an homage to the power of movies as it is to true love.”—The Bulletin
Nothing’s more epic than falling in love.
Emi Price has planned a sensational summer. She has her dream job, as a movie design intern, and the key to her brother’s wonderful apartment, which he entrusted to her for two months as a graduation gift. She just needs to fulfill his one condition: that something great—something epic—take place there while he’s gone. If she can avoid falling back into her on-again-off-again relationship with her ex-girlfriend, all will be perfect.
Then she and her best friend discover a mysterious letter at the estate sale of a Hollywood film icon. They can’t resist chasing down the loose ends of his hidden life, and suddenly Emi’s plans all feel a bit looser as well . . .
Because the acting legend’s decades-old secret is about to stretch Emi’s understanding of family, acceptance, and romance.

1,0We love films because they make us feel something. They speak to our desires, which are never small. They allow us to escape and to dream and to gaze into eyes that are impossibly beautiful and huge. They fill us with longing. *1.5 stars Another book that has been on my TBR for literal YEARS. However, it left me disappointed. I couldn’t connect with the characters, nor was I able to lose myself in the story. I nearly lost my mind because I was so bored. The writing style was really simple and I knew I shouldn’t have picked this up because I’ve read [b: We Are Okay|28243032|We Are Okay|Nina LaCour|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1471899036l/28243032._SY75_.jpg|48277368] and [b: You Know Me Well|27158835|You Know Me Well|Nina LaCour|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1448074907l/27158835._SY75_.jpg|47110620] some time ago and I wasn’t able to connect with her writing before. Emi, the main character, is an aspiring set designer in Hollywood. She’s allowed to design a room for a film and she’s determined to find the perfect sofa. This seems to be the main plot for the first 100 pages, at least that’s what this book felt like. There wasn’t a lot of action but the author sure as hell described the locations in (too much!) detail. The characters were just so bland and boring! Adding to that, it seemed really unrealistic. Which high school graduate gets an internship for a big Hollywood production? The romance was barely there and there was a weird subplot about Emi’s best friend being in love with Emi’s brother. I’m glad I only bought a used copy for 2€. It took me quite long to get through this book because I didn’t really want to pick it up.
