Middle school student Callie loves the theater and her position as set designer for her school's play. Her struggles with boys are realistic, the art is well done and colorful, and the characters are likable. The theater frame surrounding the story was a cute idea and overall, I enjoyed reading this. (view spoiler)[Though Justin is a little stereotypically gay, Jesse's character was more well-rounded, and his confusing interactions with Callie were great while he struggled to understand and express himself. I also really liked that Callie didn't fall back in love with Greg -- she grew as a person and knew when to walk away. Woohoo! (hide spoiler)] 
 I did have a little trouble buying that these were middle school students, though (I actually flipped back during Act I because I thought they were in high school!), and I wish the characters' struggles to understand their sexual identity was given a little more weight. This story leaves readers with a lighthearted, good feeling, but it almost took these weighty topics a little too lightly. 
 Overall, though, Drama was a fun, lighthearted read, even if I'm a bit older than the intended audience.
