Ugh. Most self-absorbed people I have ever read about. I get it: actors are by nature self-absorbed, but these characters were thoroughly unlikable. You couldn't even get behind the ones you knew you were supposed to be rooting for.

This book was okay. It's about a group of drama school students, and their lives, so that's kind of fun, on account of I consider myself somewhat of an actor. But it was an ensemble book that kept switching perspectives right when something was about to happen to one of the characters, a conceit which frustrated me more and more as I read on.

3.5 stars. A very enjoyable read, following the lives of three young actors who meet in Drama School. Good story, but fairly predictable. Maeve Binchy for the set that wouldn't read Maeve Binchy, really.

I liked this a lot. I liked the style of writing and I liked the glimpse into the world of acting. Each section really came to life, the little details were so well captured. I thought some of the minor characters were especially well drawn.
5 stars not 4 because I felt like I wanted to know more about all the characters at the end which I think is a product of the format. It tells the story of 3 main characters, focusing in on a period each of their lives before moving on. I would have liked a real closure on all three, but felt it only really rounded off Nell's story. An enjoyable read.
