The backstage dramas are the real show during a summer theater production of The Taming of the Shrew. Brie,Charlie, Walker, and Daisy take turns telling their four-part story-revealing secrets and showing that there's more to a crush and hookup than a pretty face.
From the author of the best-selling 6uitar Girl, here's a hip,funny, and fabulous girl-loves-boy-loves-boy-loves-girl story about finding love and friendship where you least expect it!
Brie, on Charlie:
I love Charlie because he's kind and sweet, and he'd be really hot if he didn't have such crap hair and wear all those stupid emo-y clothes. He smells nice, too. Like limes and Play-Doh and fabric softener. He never tells me that l'm thick (even if he thinks it) that often. And apart from having a really fast metabolism and waking up one morning to find out that I've turned into 1Reese Witherspoon overnight, the one thing I want more than anything in the world is for Charlie not to be gay.
Charlie on Walker:
It's not just because he's all my bad-boy fantasies rolled into one pert-buttocked, pouty-lipped package. It's more about the important stuff. That he's arch and knowing. He's got a dry sense of humor and excellent taste in music. And we have this connection that I know is more than just the fact that we're the only two sane people in the drama group.When his fingers brush against mine as he lights my cigarette or pours more wine in my glass, it feels as if my entire hand has been plugged into the national grid.
