LIMELIGHT: A Novel by Andrew Keenan Bolger

So I don’t usually start a thread about a book, but recently I’ve been reading Andrew Keenan Bolger’s debut YA novel, Limelight and as a theatre kid who is also an avid YA reader, I’ve been waiting for these two worlds to merge, so I started reading and I AM OBSESSED!!!


I don’t know if anybody on here has read it yet, but if you have I’m very curious to hear what you think because I truly believe this book could be something truly special.

Yup, read that in middle school…

I think it’s probably just not that common of a topic in published YA novels so they’re few and far between. I take it as they’ve been waiting for them to merge again.

I finished reading LIMELIGHT last night and loved it. It's very well-written, with relatable and endearing characters. I didn't want it to end.

And I'm sure you're a delight.
