From #1 New York Times bestselling author and rom-com queen Becky Albertalli comes a buoyant new novel about daring to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight in love, life, and, yes, theater. Contrary to popular belief, best friends Kate Garfield and Anderson Walker are not codependent. Carpooling to and from theater rehearsals? Environmentally sound and efficient. Consulting each other on every single life decision? Basic good judgment. Pining for the same guys from afar? Shared crushes are more fun anyway. But when Kate and Andy’s latest long-distance crush shows up at their school, everything goes off-script. Matt Olsson is talented and sweet, and Kate likes him. She really likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson.   Turns out, communal crushes aren’t so fun when real feelings are involved. This one might even bring the curtains down on Kate and Anderson’s friendship. A Complicated Love Triangle: Best friends Kate and Anderson have always shared crushes, but what happens when their favorite long-distance crush enrolls in their school and they both fall for real? Platonic Soulmates: Kate and her gay best friend Anderson are inseparable. But for the first time ever, a boy might be more important than their friendship. High School Theater Setting: A funny, heartfelt story set in the world of competitive auditions, backstage drama, and showmances, perfect for theater kids and fans of high school stories. A Poignant Coming of Age Story: A novel about finding your voice, stepping into the spotlight, and learning that sometimes the most important relationships are the ones you have to fight for.
