From E. Lockhart, author of the New York Times bestseller and Zoella Book Club 2016 title, We Were Liars. Two teen theatre-fanatics. One dream. And SUMMER DRAMA CAMP. All-round theatre-enthusiast, Sarah - better known by her showbiz name, Sayde - is a girl with ambitions too big for the small and conventional town she lives in. Her life doesn't have the razzle-dazzle she craves. For once she wants to feel special, noticed and be the centre of attention. This summer Sadye has her talents set on Wildewood's prestigious theatre summer camp. And with her best friend Demi - a flamboyant falsetto, who is equally thrilled to be leaving their small town of Brenton - they will both experience a season of hormones, hissy fits, jazz hands, song and dance, true love and unitards! But despite all the glitz and glam, there comes rivalry and competition, and Sadye will have to prove her talents more than she has ever had to before. Summer at Wildewood will not only determine Sadye's future - but will also test her friendships.

I loved this SO HARD the first time I read it, but it doesn't hold up as well to later readings for me. I identify like crazy with being a big fish in a small pond and then moving to a much bigger pond and having to adjust accordingly. I liked how the book dealt with the race/gender/sexuality issues without making it Very Special Episode-ish or changing the focus of the book. I don't think this one displaces [b:The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks 1629601 The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks E. Lockhart http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1313980820s/1629601.jpg 1623714] or the Ruby Oliver books in my heart, but I definitely identify with it more. Added w/reread July 2012: I still adore this book. And the epilogue.
