that would definitely be attractive to liv. i don't want to say liv is using her because i want them to actually be friends and also liv isn't made up 100% of thirst. i think she's had a rough enough time in the press that she does consider the reputations of the people she aligns herself with and how it will benefit her, and leah would more or less tick all of the right boxes, so maybe that was something liv had in mind when they first met (however they met, maybe just a party or mutual friends, whatever!) but it grew into genuine mutual respect... maybe moreso on liv's part, all credits considered. but i also think she would just genuinely love what leah's doing, maybe even especially as a writer, as she has probably been a fan/followed her work since ruby sparks hoping for more writing efforts from her.
