Dramarama by E. Lockhart
2.0
I'm sorry to have to rate this book just 2 stars but it wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe if I was more into musicals and the theatre then I would have enjoyed this book.
My main problem was that there were no chapters so when I needed to put the book down for whatever reason, sleep, eating, work, it was hard to pinpoint an okay spot to do so. I know that's really picky but I need chapter organisation in my life.
Also, talk about reference mania. WOAH! How I even managed to understand this book I don't know because there are non-stop musical references throughout. I had no idea of the plot or characters from most of the musicals mentioned. Put it this way, I was so happy when Cats was mentioned because I felt like I actually knew something at least.
This book is definitely for the musical/theatre buff but unfortunately not for me.
