Rebecca is part of a thespian group dedicated to their drama teacher, Mr. McFadden. Rebecca's junior year seems perfect--she's won the leading role and the leading man--until rumors of her promiscuity begin. Set in Portland, Oregon, this realistic story explores sexuality and gossip. Written from Rebecca's perspective, the emotional narrative is paired with smooth, humorous dialogue; the ending is tidy but satisfying.
