"That line broke me. Stanco writes the exact moment a teenager realizes the thing they're best at might not be theirs anymore. Mary is prickly and petty and completely sympathetic, which is so much harder to pull off than people think."
Reader & Former Drama Kid
"Gina and Tina cornering Mary about Rizzo is the most accurate ninety seconds of high school I've read in years. Thirty years in a classroom will do that. I'm putting this in my drama club's hands the day it drops."
High School Theater Director
"I came for the rivalry and stayed for the friendship. Watching Mary teach Jalese how to actually feel a song — and watching Jalese finally tell someone the truth — is worth every page. My daughter and I fought over the copy all week."
