ok, ok, THIS BOOK WAS SO CUTE! I read most of it today and wow does it take you on an emotional roller coaster. I loved how the main character, Jude, tried out for the school's play and how she loved movies and acting so much. Loved the family dynamic and growth, especially with Jude's cousin, Sarah. Loved the characters and the light plot. Please, however, be warned near the end of the book there is racism and hate crime so please if you can't handle that read that right now, don't. Overall, great read!
