The real drama happens backstage in this juicy novel about an idyllic summer theater where hot stars, has-beens and hopefuls chase rolesβand each other.
Charlie Savoy was once Hollywoodβs hottest A-lister. Now, ten years later, she's pushing forty, exiled from the film world and back at the summer Shakespeare theater that launched her careerβand where her old flame, Nick, is the artistic director.
Itβs not exactly her first choice. But as parts are cast and rehearsals begin, Charlie is surprised to find herself getting her groove back, bonding with celebrity actors, forging unexpected new friendships and even reigniting her spark with Nick, who still seems to bring out the best in her despite their complicated history.
Until Charlieβs old rival, Hollywoodβs current it girl, is brought in to attract theater donors, threatening to undo everything sheβs built. As the drama amps up both on the stage and behind the curtains, Charlie must put on the show of a lifetime to fight for the second chance she deserves in career and in love.
