This is by far the best book in the Bright Falls series. A lot of this can be attributed to the fact that readers are able to watch Iris grow throughout all three books, making her the one we know the most about. Iris is loud and unapologetic, but underneath all that confidence is someone afraid of being hurt. Stevie is quiet and anxious yet also an incredibly talented actor. This contrast is what makes these two such a perfect match; Stevie and Iris truly bring out the best in each other.

I personally really loved this book because of the theater backdrop. My background is in theater, so whenever something mentions it, I get excited. Queer Shakespeare is especially right up my alley. I truly, truly loved this book, and the Bright Falls series in general!
