The Backstagers and the Theater of the Ancients by Andy Mientus

4.0

I picked this one up shortly after I finished the previous book and was not let down in this one either. Fantastically imaginative and fun.

In this novel, the Backstagers are putting on a show called Tammy, where the main characters is deaf. I loved the idea of having an actual deaf person playing the lead in a play, super inclusive!

Technology plays a massive role in this novel as well. It shows how much we seem to rely on it to make our lives look perfect, when in reality we all know that's far from the truth.

Not to mention the fact that all of a sudden there's a secret society who's be-all end-all is to make theater "pure" again. Spooky!
