Amazing! This book absolutely ripped my heart out in the best way.
This story follows a group of seven senior undergrad theatre students. While wrapped up in the plays they are learning for their (exclusively) Shakespearean program, they soon find themselves caught up on their own Shakespearean tragedy of sorts.
I loved the parallels between the characters and the plays and the fact that the book was formatted in acts and scenes. The characters are so nuanced, and I loved all of them.
And THE ENDING! AGH!
