3.0

A light fun read about a high school student producing the school play, her relationships, and the relationships of the people in the cast and crew. However, the last 20 pages or so of the book got too bogged down with minutae about the dress rehearsal and performances.  The epilogue provided a better ending. While reading the book I wavered between giving it a 3 or a 4 but the ending brought it down to a 3.
