โSensationally tragic.โ โKirkus Reviews (starred review)
Rory is an antihero for the ages. Like Shakespeareโs Richard III, she confides in her audience, telling us exactly the lengths sheโll go to to secure the leading role in Bosworth Academyโs senior musical, confessing without shame that she is charming and conniving and brutally ambitious, that we will watch and root for her even as she manipulates and endangers those around her. And we do. Perhaps itโs because we donโt want to believe that sheโs as relentless as she claims. Rory is an underdog, after all, a scholarship kid teased for her weight. Surely there will be redemption? Surely our dread and patience will be rewarded? Intricately plotted with an ingenious narrative that blends multiple viewpoints with script excerpts and an original musical score, Lindsay Eagarโs whip-smart, precision-crafted, and gleefully compulsive page-turner taps into the dark side of high school theater production. A diabolically good read, it forces our complicity as we wince and cheer for an arresting drama queen who just canโt help going full-tilt nasty in the pursuit of her dreams.
