Customer Reviews

I couldn't put this book down at all.

I finished this novel in 2 days...goes to show how much I loved it! The writer really surprised me when I got to the part about Penny's trauma. The title did confuse me a little until I was halfway through the book. It's a really great novel that revolves around friendships and the theater. It's only 242 pages but this book definitely deserves five stars!
