Carter, Ethan, Sophie, and Emme all take turns narrating this story set at a performing arts high school in New York City. The plot, including auditions, applying to prestigious arts colleges, jealousy, and infighting, is not surprising, but a unique setting and the characters' authentic, complicated relationships with one another (and their crafts) make this story stand out.
