imagine: a non-theater kid joining a community production of chicago to try and win the heart of the boy he likes (and has up to this point only known anonymously in the context of online gaming) whilst knowing NOTHING about musical theater. the results were surprisingly hilarious.
this was one of my most anticipated reads of 2023 and it totally lived up to the hype! although the secondhand stress of noah trying to maintain the balancing act of his situation was VERY real, i found myself so invested that i couldn’t put it down. the family dynamics in this book were so interesting and unlike anything i’ve ever read in the YA space before especially.
as far as content warnings go, there was some intense bullying that occurred and sexual harassment/public humiliation, body shaming, fire/fire injury, infidelity, emotional manipulation, and homophobia.
