Stars of the Show

Aspiring astronomer Ellie must put aside her dislike for drama king Jack as they reluctantly partner up for a Much Ado About Nothing scene that could change both their futures.

Ellie Anderson is the brainy, ambitious treasurer of her high school’s Astronomy Club, with dreams of winning the international Science Olympiad and working for NASA. Jack Dunn is the star of the drama department, used to standing ovations but craving approval from his parents, who aren’t supporting his dream of attending a prestigious theatre school.

Suddenly forced to act onstage with Jack to save her grade in Drama, Ellie is reluctant to work with Jack. But Jack’s passion for theatre sparks something in her, and soon their rehearsals are full of more than just lines  from Shakespeare.

As Ellie struggles with her fear of relationships, and Jack fights his feelings after a painful breakup, they both realize they might be perfect for each other—if they can just stop getting in their own way.

But when jealousy, insecurities, and family pressures threaten to pull them apart, Ellie and Jack will have to decide whether they’re willing to risk it all for love—or retreat before the curtain even rises.

From award-winning YA novelist Tom Leveen, a perfect novel for fans of heartfelt, swoon-worthy YA romance!
