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 is a master of cues, schedules, and headsets. But when it comes to her heart, she’s a walking disaster.
- A Forbidden Romance: Falling for the leading lady wasn’t in the plan—especially when a single crush could bring the entire production of Les Mis crashing down.
- Behind-the-Scenes Setting: A love letter to theater kids everywhere, filled with inside jokes, backstage drama, and the chaotic magic of putting on a show.
- A Hilarious F/F Romance: When the hyper-organized stage manager falls for the effortlessly cool star actress, the results are both heartwarming and disastrously funny.
