Once More With Feeling by Elissa Sussman
Calling all Daisy Jones fans! Calling all Daisy Jones fans! I have a new recommendation for you. "Once More With Feeling" by Elissa Sussman is an excellent summer read. I took it recently to Connecticut to visit my sister and brother-in-law, and I read it all in one weekend. The story begins years ago when a pop star named Katee Rose falls for Ryan, the member of a boy band called CrushZone. However, despite her attraction to Ryan, she cheats on him with Cal, who is also a member of CrushZone. Their relationship blows up both bands. When the dust settles, they all go in separate directions. Katee is shaken by the experience, and leaves her career behind. She goes back to her original name and mortal life as Kathleen Rosenberg. Flash forward to current times, when Cal is a respected Broadway director in need of a leading lady. He brings back a friend from summer camp named Harriet, who also knows Kathleen. When Cal insists Kathleen audition for the part, all three friends are brought back together again. Despite Kathleen's anxiety about working with Cal again, and starring in a Broadway musical, she accepts the part. Music, tension, love, Broadway, this book has all the right ingredients for a delightful read. I don't know for sure, but I bet Hollywood is already working on the casting for a mini-series.
