Synopsis

Marty Sullivan's life ends, basically, when her parents enroll her in a private high school. A private, Catholic, girls-only high school. Meanwhile, at their local public school, her best friend, Jimmy, comes out of the closet and finds himself a boyfriend and a new group of friends. Marty feels left out and alone, until she gets a part in the school musical, Into the Woods, and Jimmy and his new crew are in it, too! Things start looking even better when Marty falls for foxy fellow cast member Felix Peroni. And Felix seems to like her back. But the drama is just beginning . . . Can Marty and Jimmy keep up their friendship? And is Marty's new beau everything he appears to be? Or is Marty too clueless to figure it all out before it's too late?

Goodreads review by Jae on August 13, 2015

Marty is sent to an all girls Catholic school and she isn't very happy about it. She will also be separated......more
