Repeat After Me by Jessica Warman

I think this was supposed to be funny more than anything? Like, that was the primary driving force and it just wasn't my sense of humor. It also meant that everything else was--Okay, so the humor (which I think was the point) got acting coaches, endless practice run-throughs, voice lessons, etc., it was the star of the show, and it was performing on a stage held together with like six nails, smooshed into shape by a person who had only ever heard a stage described, and with a cell phone flashlight taped to a beam as the primary source of illumination.
That's not to say it was poorly written or anything. Writing-wise, it was fine. There's definitely skill there. But that's not how I think anyone would act in any situation. And I think that's not the point, right? The "funny" is the point. But I can't get past how..... none of that seems like anything anyone would do ever. That's not how people's brains do, y'know? *coughs*
Anyway, YMMV but this one was super not for me and the only reason it's not at one star is because I think I just disliked it so much because it's so not my cup of tea and not because it failed at what it was trying to do - I think it actually probably completely succeeded at what it was trying to do. I just hated what it was doing, lol.
