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.
