❝The show must go on.❞ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ When Penelope Lane Myers befriends new-girl Jessica Winters, she think that she has the potential to become one of her soul sisters. They share the same interests, especially when it comes to theatre. Things are going great, until she realizes Jessie is not everything that she seems. Things complicate when Penny finds herself caught in a love triangle. Her longtime crush and theatre star, Nick Dupont, finally seems to take notice of her just as Christian Burnstone, the older musician, seems to lay eyes on her as well. And when Jessie takes notice of this, her relationship with both, and her best friend, is jeopardized. Will everyone be able to see past the lies and deceit? Or will Penelope be in the audience watching Jessie steal the show? As with every show, Act 1 is pretty predictable and tame. Theatre kids know that Act 2 is when all hell breaks loose... ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ THIRD PLACE WINNER IN THE FRUITS OF LOVE 2018 disclaimer - There is some profanity used in this book, but not enough that I think it needs to be marked mature. Also, I am posting these as I am writing them so please excuse any minor spelling/grammar mistakes. They will be resolved once I go back through to edit :) cover by me!

The only thing worse than dying is seeing someone you love die. Not necessarily a fast violent death but, a slow one. One where all you can do is watch it happen, love them with all your heart, and prepare for the worst. I always knew that Christian would die. Even after six years of knowing that, I wasn't prepared for it, it hit me like a pile of bricks. I always figured that even though he would die he would always be with me because he loved me, turns out that's not how it works. Death does crazy things, it can make you horrifyingly sad or it can lift a burden from your chest. They always tell you that "they're in a better place now" or that "they don't hurt anymore" but God damnit I hurt. I hurt a lot.
