ANYONE, ANYONE involved or just interested in any form of amateur dramatics, acting or performing of any kind should read this book. From small town mentality to big world dreams this book had me captivated from start to finish. The way the Author captures the intensity of the many relationships which thread through the story is masterful. The ever changing flow of the relationship between the two main characters, Zoe and Tom is like "reading a salsa" - sensuous, exciting, tentatively passionate, flowing, energetic & very beautiful to watch! All of this alongside the many hysterical events between the other characters and the beautiful language used throughout, this book had me wishing only one thing at its conclusion: how long do I have to wait to read the sequel!?
