Laura Solar's Reviews > The Rise and Fall of Ava Arcana

Books about fictional celebrities are a favorite of mine, and The Rise and Fall of Ava Arcana was no exception. I loved the back and forth between Kayla and Ava’s timelines, and the slow burn mystery of Ava’s death had me hooked from the start. I was absolutely sure I had the twist figured out, but I was blindsided and truly awed by the way all the pieces came together. I wasn’t a huge fan of Kayla’s friendship backstory, but it was only a small part of the book. There’s also some petty, eyeroll-worthy drama, but overall this was a solid read for me and a great book for me to round out 2022 with! (This was my final read of the year.)
