Author: Nina LaCour
Armed with talent as a set designer, Emi is thriving in the L.A. film scene, but she is perpetually failing to design a love life that’s more than make believe. This changes when she stumbles upon an undelivered letter at the estate sale of a deceased Hollywood legend. This leads her to the granddaughter of a famous Hollywood actor. The two women fall in love. The story draws from LaCour’s own experience in the film world. The romance at the center of the book was inspired by LaCour’s desire to create a space for teens to encounter a relationship with the happy ending that they may not be encouraged to find in their own lives. LaCour lives in L.A. with her wife and their daughter. Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers Group (penguin.com). —Suzie Lynde
