A funny and timely debut YA about the toxic masculinity at a famous improv comedy camp
Seventeen-year-old Zelda Bailey-Cho has her future all planned out: improv camp, then Second City, and finally Saturday Night Live. Sheβs thrilled when she lands a spot on the coveted varsity team at a prestigious improv camp, which means sheβll get to perform for professional scoutsβincluding her hero, Nina Knightley. But even though sheβs hardworking and talented, Zeldaβs also the only girl on Varsity, so sheβs the target for humiliation from her teammates. And her 20-year-old coach, Ben, is cruel to her at practice and way too nice to her when theyβre alone. Zelda wants to fight back, but is sacrificing her best shot at her dream too heavy a price to pay?
