The thing I liked the most about this book was the accuracy of living in a working in theatre and having a theatre company that creates a family. I credit the author a lot with that accuracy and also just really enjoyed some of the characters. As a whole, I didn't love this story and I feel like by the end the problem was made a way bigger issue than it needed to be. There was no sense of urgency or actually having the world fall apart for these characters and in the end it felt like none of them cared anyway. I had a lot of hope for this book and it did let me down a little bit but it wasn't terrible.
