What I'm reading now.
Fantastic, intelligent, feminist YA.
I loved this book. So much better than Dramarama, but even in Dramarama, I could see a thoughtfulness in the narrator that really shone through here. The setting was perfect too, all the details were dead on, and the whole thing rang true.
Fun, quick YA.
Sarah decides to reinvent herself at a summer theater program as Sadye, along with her long-closeted best friend, Demi, who takes the opportunity to come out as gay.
In a competitive atmosphere, Demi shines, but Sadye begins to realize that loving theater doesn't mean that you have the talent to make it in the business.
It was really good, though, and the love for theater was so solid through the book it made me want to listen to cast recordings, and although I can't help but think bloody Disney is responsible for all of this through High School Musical, it's pretty cool to see the theater geeks as the cool kids in a book.
