The Love Curse of Melody McIntyre
By Robin Talley
Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Nina LaCour, this romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Robin Talley has something for everyone: backstage rendezvous, deadly props, and a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to True Love.
Melody McIntyre, stage manager extraordinaire, has a plan for everything.
What she doesn’t have? Success with love. Every time she falls for someone during a school performance, both the romance and the show end in catastrophe. So, Mel swears off any entanglements until their upcoming production of Les Mis is over.
Of course, Mel didn’t count on Odile Rose, rising star in the acting world, auditioning for the spring performance. And she definitely didn’t expect Odile to be sweet and funny, and care as much about the play’s success as Mel.
Which means that Melody McIntyre’s only plan now is trying desperately not to fall in love.
- Stage Manager Protagonist: Melody McIntyre calls the cues, runs the show, and keeps the actors in line. The only thing she can’t control is her own disastrous love life.
- Sapphic Romance: Mel is crew. Odile is cast. When the star of the show is this charming, keeping things professional might be the biggest disaster of all.
- Theater Kid Shenanigans: From cursed props and backstage gossip to the pure chaos of putting on Les Mis, this is a love letter to the drama club geeks who make the magic happen.
- Opposites Attract: She runs the show from the shadows of the tech booth; the other lives in the spotlight. When their worlds collide, sparks are guaranteed to fly.
