Kate in Waiting
“Real chemistry between the different love interests in the book, authentic dialogue, supportive friendships, and Albertalli’s signature humor make this a must-read. Flips the script on battling over a boy in the best way possible.”
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
From #1 New
York Times bestselling author and rom-com queen Becky Albertalli comes
a buoyant new novel about daring to step out of the shadows and into the
spotlight in love, life, and, yes, theater.
Contrary to popular
belief, best friends Kate Garfield and Anderson Walker are not codependent. Carpooling to and from theater rehearsals?
Environmentally sound and efficient. Consulting each other on every single life
decision? Basic good judgment. Pining for the same guys from afar? Shared
crushes are more fun anyway.
But when Kate and
Andy’s latest long-distance crush shows up at
their school, everything goes off-script. Matt Olsson is talented and
sweet, and Kate likes him. She really
likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson.
Turns out, communal
crushes aren’t so fun when real feelings are involved. This one might even
bring the curtains down on Kate and Anderson’s friendship.
