Once More With Feeling by Elissa Sussman

3.0

Full disclosure: I don’t like musical theater. This is a love story in and about musical theater. If you don’t love musical theater, step away from this book. (I should’ve followed my own advice. 1 star for my personal feelings about the setting, but 4 stars for story and writing.)

Pros:
  • The audiobook performance!
  • Then/now timeline hopping
  • Heroine’s Inner dialogue 
  • Banter
  • Tension building 
  • Best friends
  • Boy bands

Cons:
  • Musical theater (sorry!)
  • Miscommunication between characters (just say what you mean!)
  • Sexism in the music industry
