 * Reviews:**

"A sprawling, comically pitched story...as tangled and entertaining as a production of 'Kiss Me, Kate'." -- //Seattle Post-Intelligencer, June 19, 2008//

"Practically perfect in every way." -- //Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, August 4, 2008//

...this is a rich and humorous novel for older readers...a fun, feel-good story with star quality. -- //School Library Journal, starred review//

...this romantic comedy is pure fun...and the story ought to appeal to a wide range of readers. -- //Kirkus, starred review//

A big, warmhearted tale about musical theater, political organizing, baseball, friendship and love--opening up the audience to adults as well as teens. -- //Publishers Weekly, February 25, 2008//

Funny, affecting, smart and surprising, too. The climactic moment is good as a Broadway curtain call--or a neighborhood outing to Fenway. -- //The Washington Post, March 16, 2008//

Kluger's easy-breezy and thoroughly absorbing novel channels the hearts, heads, and hormones of three high school students. -- //Horn Book//
