<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Just out of high school, Emi Price is a talented young set designer already beginning to thrive in the L.A. film scene. But her artistic eye has failed her in one key area: helping her to design a love life that's more than make-believe. Then she finds a mysterious letter at an estate sale, and it sends her chasing down the loose ends of a movie icon's hidden life. And along the way, she finds Ava, and at long last, Emi's own hidden life begins to bloom. <p/>From the bestelling, award-winning author of We Are Okay and Hold Still.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for <i>Everything Leads to You</i> <p/>"But underneath the privilege surges <b>real pain, longing, and feeling</b> in a way that makes it easy to imagine this novel as a film." <br>-<i>Publishers Weekly, </i><b>starred review</b> <p/>This sensitive, multifaceted novel creates an authentic portrayal of the ups and downs of life. . . .
