What a fabulous book! I am not even a big movie person (I know I know), but I loved every aspect of learning about the movie theory and the behind the scene looks into the industry.  At some points I felt like I was in film class myself and loved how much research went into any snippets of the coursework that were included in the story.  What I loved even more were Val and Maeve.  This is one of those times I wish we got to see Maeve's POVs also because she is so interesting and I would have so loved to get a peak into her head and her thoughts about both her career and the romance.  

Val was SUCH an amazing relatable character.  I don't care if she is famous and "has people". The way her anxiety is described is the most real to me of anything I've read before.  This is a miscommunication troupe I actually can get behind because you can see very clearly the REASON for the miscommunication is the anxiety PHYSICALLY preventing Val from expressing herself to Maeve.  It isn't laziness, stubbornness, lack of care...it is the anxiety controlling the narrative in her head.  

I also love love all the conversation about Queerness in Hollywood; both the struggles and discrimination, the public obsession with getting to personal and demanding all the answers, and the accolades, the hope, and the joy.

The writing was lovely, the characters amazing, the spice amazing, and this just left me with all the warm and fuzzies!

Note: I listened to the audiobook and LOVED it! Highly recommend.
