Description
- Stage Manager Protagonist: Melody McIntyre calls the cues, runs the show, and keeps the actors in line. The only thing she can’t control is her own disastrous love life.- Sapphic Romance: Mel is crew. Odile is cast. When the star of the show is this charming, keeping things professional might be the biggest disaster of all.- Theater Kid Shenanigans: From cursed props and backstage gossip to the pure chaos of putting on Les Mis, this is a love letter to the drama club geeks who make the magic happen.- Opposites Attract: She runs the show from the shadows of the tech booth; the other lives in the spotlight. When their worlds collide, sparks are guaranteed to fly.

[The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.] CN: slutshaming (it isn’t very explicit, but still…) What I liked: • The cover is so cute! • As a former theatre kid, this book made me so happy! I loved the atmosphere and all the musical references. And I definitely need to rewatch Les Mis soon! • Mel is openly bisexual and has two dads! (And Odile identifies as queer and later says she isn’t sure of the details yet, but bi is closest to what she is.) • I really like the writing style. • The format of the book is so interesting! It's set up like a real play/musical (with scenes, acts and an intermission) and there are lots of notes, cast lists etc. I felt like I was a part of the crew! • Mel and Odile are so adorable! • The ending was wonderful! Maybe a bit cheesy, but I loved it! What I didn’t like: • In my opinion the love story developed a little to fast. • Unfortunately, I didn’t like any of the friendships in this book. Mel says Dom is her best friend, but she often ignores him and doesn’t talk to him very much, even when she notices that something is wrong with him. And her other friends forbid her to fall in love?! How shitty is that? And they never really admit that they did something wrong too? I wish they had more conversations about that. 4 out of 5 stars
