Which I really appreciated, it talked a lot about the smog and horrible traffic and the god damn Santa Ana winds, ughhh. And this book describes the REAL Los Angeles, not the sugar coated la-la-land version that we so often see in fiction. (Not sure why she hates Tarantino’s films so much though, he’s a legend but whatever lol.) I’m also from Southern California so I love that this book takes place in Southern California.

I absolutely love movies as much as I love books so it was very fun to read about a character who also loves movies and is directing her own. But then the two start to bond and get to know each other, and it’s freaking cute. Sana comes for a wealthier family because her Mother is a producer and she’s worked her way up in Hollywood, but she has a complicated relationship with her Father.īecause of a hilarious situation that happens in the beginning her film teacher requires Sana to be the lead actress in Rachel’s film, and this understandably upsets her because she’s her biggest enemy. Who is taking a film class and she’s directing her first film for this project, and she absolutely hates Sana (because Sana asked Rachel out when they first met and Rachel thought she was making fun of her.) Rachel’s family is very poor, her Mom walked out on them and her and her Father are barely making it. She gets described in this book as a south Asian Elizabeth Taylor. We have Sana, this absolutely gorgeous cheerleader who is also a very out of the closet lesbian. It’s hate to love and both of these two main characters were so fleshed out and this story gave me so much life. This is an adorable YA f/f romance that I didn’t know I needed until I read it.

Tell me how you really feel book
