Life is built by
where you invest your passion. But what happens when the object of that passion
dies—or, at least, ends without warning? Liv breathes the Starveil movies and
is deep in the fandom that orbits them; when the fifth movie surprises its
viewers with the announcement that it is the last one, Liv’s world comes
unhinged. Without Starveil, Liv doesn’t know who she is. To right herself from
this gross interruption of the world as she knows it, Liv heeds the wise
counsel of a fortune cookie: It’s up to you to make your happy ending.
The bittersweet
taste of this book comes from how contemporary it is. Bitter because of the
uncommon jargon that I had to search the urban dictionary to understand or else
lose out on key details of the story; sweet because of the utter uniqueness of
the circumstances. I loved reading about the influence we the people have on
the media in a way that has never before been possible, and I loved how the
unprecedented circumstances of our day helped Liv discover herself and her
future. While the vulgar language caused me to flinch as it popped up, Liv’s
modern adventure was one worth reading.
HS – OPTIONAL.
