Ok, friends, this school musical business is slowing me down a bit (I just don't read as fast when I'm falling asleep on the train!)
But here's what I read this week:
The Académie by Susanne DunlapMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
**This is a book I got for free, in advance through Netgalley.**
I didn't realize while I was reading this that the eponymous school was a real one, and that these three young ladies were real historical figures who all attended it in real life (although not all together.) I definitely enjoyed the historical setting, and the multiple point-of-view narration. A few things pulled me out of the story a little--occasionally when things had to be explained, or when characters stopped to really belabor a particular belief--and the ending, while exciting, felt a little rushed--but overall I found this a very enjoyable story and I'm thinking about tracking down more info about the girls themselves.

Waiting in the Wings:
The cover is really pretty, but I'm not sure if I'll rush out to read it. I have too many others that sound a little more exciting :) Partials does sound pretty interesting though.
