This was cute, but honestly I think would have made a better movie! Nina Lacour's writing style isn't as refined as it is in 'We Are Okay', but I think part of that is Emi as a character feels less defined to me than Marin - the writing was not bad, just simpler than I think the book could afford given that the characters were like, nice but I'm struggling to think of any...traits they had. The more detail-oriented sections of the writing were what pulled it back for me. I wanted to see/hear more [about] Emi and Charlotte's friendship, and less about how Emi was pining after Morgan, who I don't think anyone could possibly develop any attachment to so I don't know why that was such a focus. I also struggle with romances for the exact reason that I don't find it compelling to hear how beautiful someone is over and over - I wish Emi and Ava ending up together felt more...earned, I guess than 'oh, they both like girls...' 
I also find family heritage/legacy stories difficult to care about, I don't know why.
That being said, whilst I noticed these problems I had a good time; I thought the momentum of the story was pretty breezy (almost, too breezy; it felt like some things should have been harder!) and I enjoyed what we did see of the central friendship, and especially the attention to detail when following Emi's escapades in production design, and I enjoy that the book felt very earnest and sweet.
