"This book does a great job of capturing the world of the performing arts summer camp. The characters are likable and well-drawn. Theatre geeks will love it for its take on acting teachers and theatre people who take themselves very seriously. The book has a strange third act which, while it moved me emotionally, I felt wanting a bit more. This is a lean book, and I imagine it was quite a large manuscript at first. I would have liked to read more about the actual shows that the characters rehearse, learn more about some of the minor characters (especially the staff at the camp). I do recommend this book and commend it for creating a compelling character in an easily lampooned world." — Jason (4 out of 5 stars)

" Fabulous, fabulous on audio! Must read! Read by my favorite Kate Reindeers. In the mood for Broadway? Read this. Loved it! "
" Enjoyable, but no Ruby Oliver. But then, who is? "
" I listened to this one. I think I might have gotten into this one more if I had read it rather than listened. The main character's over the top theater personaility was really annoying when you had to hear it outloud. Well, at least at first. I did eventually get into the story and then over it, but then Sayde's attitude started to annoy me too. But overall it was a good book, although not Lockhart's best. "
" A lot of fun to read! The prot. is kind of annoying though. "
" This novel is set in summer theater camp. Reading it made me want to go to that camp. The setting is depicted in terrific detail and the characters are interesting and likeable and realistic. A fun and moving read. "
" Not bad. Better than The Boyfriend List, not as good and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. "
" I loved this one, it reminded me of my days in drama, which were short lived. I'll review this on my blog in a bit, and tell some stories. "
" This book was good, because it showed things from a very different point of view "
" Well the book started off a bit slow, but then I got very interested. As being a tall dancer myself I do relate with Sarah/Sayde. I also feel that way about my town, so felt as if I was Sarah/Sayde. So it was nice to read a book that I can relate with. "
" This book deals with some situations that may be too mature for middle school students. "
" ehh it was ok. wouldn't read it again though. "
" Great book.Didn't really like the ending though. "
" Not as compelling as Frankie Landau Banks or Ruby Oliver, but so very easy to read. Also, thank god there was an epilogue or I would have been pretty honked off. "
" book wasnt what i expected from the cover, picked it up at the friends of the library book sale. good teen read, always wanted to go to summer camp, not for drama, some good characters. "
" An okay book but anyone who likes theatre will appreciate it. It reminded me of how much I love theatre....as well as the reasons I learned to hate it. "
" One of my absolute favorite books! Dramarama is a fun read; I highly recommended, especially to those who love the behind-the-scene and outside drama of theatre. "
" The story of two teens at Drama Camp for the summer. I enjoyed it, and appreciated all the references to musicals and the like. Highly entertaining. If you liked The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks, you'll probably enjoy this one. "
" To be frank, this is definitely a lesser effort compared to the Ruby Oliver books, but there is something quite touching about this story about a girl (Sarah/Sadye) who thinks she has dramatic talent but really doesn't. "
" A very entertaining yet poignant tale of a girl who is trying to discover who she is, what she can do and who her friends are. With a backdrop of musical theater! "
" I got this book off a bargin table on a whim. I ended up eating it up in about 6 hour. It was funny, cleaver, and sweet; in all the right moments. I will have to check out this author other books now ;) "
" I needed something to read that wouldn't force me to concentrate or think. I got what I wanted. "
" Never wanted to before, but now I really wish I'd gone to theater camp as a teenager... Or rather, I wish that I could be a teenager now, the way I am, and go to theater camp. E. Lockhart wins again. "
" This book was alright, but I hated the ending. The girl gives up her whole future just for the other guy. Not a fairytale ending, but still-- you have to give the poor girl something. "
" One of my top 2 favorite books ever! Will reread again and again! "
" Good, the GAY BESTFRIEND (why capslock? 'Cause I want a gay bestfriend. Doesn't everybody?) reminds me of Eli? From that No-Kiss List book? "
