It’s a murder mystery of sorts. A character is killed in a gory way.

As a theatre kid with a literature degree, this sure did Hit. I don't know what to say about this one that hasn't been said. It hits the mark with actors and acting classes, torture of academia, drama of a semi-forced family unit, Shakespearean magnitude. Using excerpts of Shakespeare as a literary device to set the tone and shape the story was impressively clever. The audio performance was magnificent.

I was enjoying everything as it was and then the final "twist" (kinda?) absolutely wrecked me. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending specifically, but the story as an overall piece of art is wonderful.

This. Book. Has. Everything.
- unconventional structure
- a cast of insufferable theatre students constantly lobbing Shakespeare quotes at each other
- homoerotic tension that only women and villains seem to notice
- a random lake in Illinois
- gay love in main- and sun-plots
- holiday family drama in Ohio
- decadent ambiguity 
- so. many. secrets.
- the thespian’s curse (it’s that thing when a thespian has to explain why being a thespian is not a choice, but a way of life to a painfully logical person and fails miserably)
