Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour tells the tale of Emi Price the summer she graduates from high
school. Her brother, off to Europe, lets
her stay in his apartment with the challenge that she make something great take
place there. Emi manages to do just
that. During the course of the summer
Emi recovers from her first love, solves a mystery involving a film legend,
finds her artistic (and presumably her eventual professional) feet, and falls
in love.
This is a sweet story that is aimed at a young adult
audience. I would recommend it to anyone
who likes adventurous, over achieving girls making a mark on the world.
