Description
I want you to do something with the place. Something epic. After being entrusted with her brother's Los Angeles apartment for the summer as a graduation gift, Emi Price isn't sure how to fulfill his one condition: that something great take place there while he's gone. Emi may be a talented young production designer, already beginning to thrive in the competitive film industry, but she still feels like an average teen, floundering when it comes to romance. But when she and her best friend, Charlotte, discover a mysterious letter at the estate sale of a Hollywood film legend, Emi must move beyond the walls of her carefully crafted world to chase down the loose ends of a movie icon's hidden life, leading her to uncover a decades' old secret and the potential for something truly epic: love.Product Details

Morris Honor Book; YALSA Best Books for Young Adults (2010); Publishers Weekly Flying Start "Hold Still may be the truest depiction of the aching, gaping hole left in the wake of a suicide that I've ever read.
