Probably more like a 3.5 rating, but I bumped it up for all of the fun Gene Kelly references. This is a cute story about a girl who dreams of her perfect boyfriend ... a Gene Kelly clone. Someone should probably tell her that he really was kind of a jerk in real life, but it is not unrealistic to think of a high school girl making all of her romantic dreams dependent on ideas of romance gathered from the movies. I would probably label the entanglements and difficulties of this book as fairly tame for a young adult book of this day and age, but they are the sort of things you would find in an everyday high school setting. I especially appreciated the lesson this book taught about loving people for who they truly are and not trying to change them to fit some sort of ideal we have in our head. Maddie refused to appreciate Jesse for who he was. She saw what she wanted to see, and when his actions didn't live up to her expectations, she tried to change him. That happens all the time in high school relationships. That happens all the time in older relationships. It was a good thing to examine. People who love theater will love the setting of this story. I have enjoyed both books that Kristin Rae has provided for this series. She'll be an author I'll look for in the future. For now, I have an overwhelming desire to grab a bowl of popcorn and watch Singin' in the Rain again. Four stars.
