Elizabeth Eulberg writes one of the better YA stand-alone novels out there. I have adored her past 2 offerings and this third one is no exception. Take A Bow is the story of 4 teenagers as they go through their senior year at CPA, a prestigious performing arts academy. It sort of sounds like Fame, as pointed out by a friend, but since I've yet to watch the movie, I cannot say for sure. 
 I did think that Eulberg writing 4 different POVs would confuse the readers but I felt like it was really done well. The switches only came in when needed and I thought that helped a lot. The characters were very well-developed. I thought that Emme would be portrayed as the stereotypical good girl but I'm glad I was wrong. I actually identified a lot with her and the other characters all had a few surprises up their sleeves. 
 The one thing I did have a problem was Sophie. (view spoiler)[I guessed that she was going to be the "bad guy" of the novel but I did find it weird that her POV was just dropped the moment Emme found out the truth. I suppose it could be a reference to how she never really cared about the rest anyway and she didn't had much to think about them and so, her story never really tied in with theirs but it still felt a little weird. (hide spoiler)] 
 Like with her previous novels, Eulberg wraps up her novel rather nicely but not TOO nicely and I liked that it had the realistic touch. Well done! 4.5 stars!
