From Library Journal

Teenager Katie Byrne and her two best friends, Carly and Anne, always aspired to be actresses; they spent many hours reenacting roles in famous plays. But their dream is shattered when Anne is murdered and Carly is beaten into a coma. This tragedy now pervades every aspect of Katie's young adult life. She feels guilty as the sole survivor and harbors a fear that someone is stalking her. Nevertheless, Katie turns to acting and eventually is offered a role on Broadway. The first part of the novel is the most compelling, with the account of the attack and its aftermath along with the police investigation. As Katie travels to London, then to Broadway, and back to her home in Connecticut, the disaster in her early life seems to demand resolution. Reader Kate Burton nicely captures both the American and British accents of the characters. Recommended for general fiction collections. Catherine Swenson, Norwich Univ., Northfield, VT
