I mean, I believe in fate and destiny from time to time but this is too much. The ‘coincidence’ of them both being lesbian made this book unfortunately not so realistic. I usually read a book in 1-2 days but this one took me 3 days.Įmi and Ava are both nice girls and characters. Sometimes dialogs were half page long and that made me take a lot of breaks from this book. The many dialogs and few descriptions of places and the world around them annoyed my reading experience. Now I’m not saying that I really enjoyed it still because there are other factors that made me not enjoy this book that much. Sometimes predictable stories are not boring, especially contemporary ones and this is one of them. I wanted to tell myself it isn’t and struggled to not predict things that were happening but it was too hard not to since it was so simple to deduct.
I thought the ‘mystery’ was completely predictable. I guess I’m just not used to LaCour’s formula. The fact is that I was confused about who IS the main main character throughout the story. So, I guess there are really TWO main characters with the same importance level in this book that are connected to each other. Ava is struggling with finding a place where she can feel at home and Emi helps her. Emi help her find the truth about her mother who died unfortunately too. Emi has a new job and then Ava has one as well for the same people. But, even if Emi was the one discovering the letter, everything else important happening revolves, as I said, around Ava.
She’s the narrator and there’s a first person POV so it makes it even more obvious. Now here is the thing: I thought Emi was the main character. The story revolves around Ava, the granddaughter of a well-known celebrity who died and left her a letter telling her how much he wished he knew her and that he left her A LOT of money she can use at her sake. It was actually my first lesbian YA (romance-details later) read and I think I may continue with this genre and try to seek some gems out there-because there always are! And she is about to expand Emi’s understanding of family, acceptance, and true romance.Įverything Leads to You is definitely not a BAD book. She has a tumultuous, not-so-glamorous past, and lives an unconventional life.
But then a mysterious letter from a silver screen legend leads Emi to Ava.
She has desperately gone back to the same girl too many times to mention.
