This book is a romance and the romance was sweet. The romance is also LGBT which is different and refreshing in YA if the book is not by David Levithan. It was also quite subtly done and not one of those books that has to announce (through a megaphone) that the protagonist is in fact, gay.
The protagonist works as a set designer so large amounts of the book are about finding and capturing personalities through furniture and homes. It is very vivid in its descriptions which really made a lasting impression on me and really (to use junior school terminology) created a picture in my mind.
It is quite an emotional and passionate book but the pace did slow down a little at times which made me bored and as a result was less emotional than it had the capability of being.
That said, the characters were all very real and I really enjoyed the fact it was a very female cast of characters. It did make me relate more to the characters but it could lock out some of the male YA demographic, if the pink cover did not already do this.
I would recommend this if:
You want to work in Hollywood
You have a very visual mind
You want a LGBT romance
I gave this four stars
Buy it here
