Once More with Feeling

This is a book where I must have read a pre-release review of it, then put a hold on it, and then when it came in I was like “what's this?” I must have read about the Broadway subplot and decided to request it, but then when the cover was like “TikTok sensation!” I was like, “uh oh” bc it seems that I don't usually agree with BookTok's favs.

But I checked it out and for me, this was perfectly cromulent. I liked all the theater kid backstory stuff but I never got too invested in the romance plot. To me it felt like it was a fanfiction AU but I didn't know the characters. Like if I had already been invested in these characters I'd be like “hell yeah he's a director and she's an actress? Can't wait to see how this turns out” but like, I wasn't.

But I did read the whole thing because it was a pretty easy read and because I wanted to see how thins turned out for Riveted! the Broadway musical based on Rosie the Riveter.

Also the cover of the book has a cat on it and the cat is like BARELY in it.
