Love Curse of Melody McIntyre
Love Curse of Melody McIntyre | Robin Talley
12 posts | 9 read | 16 to read
Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Nina LaCour, this #ownvoices romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Robin Talley has something for everyone: backstage rendezvous, deadly props, and a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to True Love.Melody McIntyre, stage manager extraordinaire, has a plan for everything. What she doesn't have? Success with love. Every time she falls for someone during a school performance, both the romance and the show end in catastrophe. So, Mel swears off any entanglements until their upcoming production of Les Mis is over. Of course, Mel didn't count on Odile Rose, rising star in the acting world, auditioning for the spring performance. And she definitely didn't expect Odile to be sweet and funny, and care as much about the play's success as Mel. Which means that Melody McIntyre's only plan now is trying desperately not to fall in love.

Not bad. We follow a stage manager who ends up falling in love with an actress. But the twist being that she‘s not supposed to fall in love. Overall I found it to be entertaining and a pretty good pick for June

Almost done with this one it‘s taken me over a year! My goal is to read all my once upon a book club books this year! I had to unsubscribe because I have too many boxes!

This book is just the sweetest and most fun. So queer-positive and really reminds me why I love theater.

I made it about 50% of the way through and realized I was skimming and skipping whole pages and yet still knew what was going on. I like the diversity (bi protagonist with dads), but the story isn‘t that captivating. And quite frankly, it was too much theater talk. More important, the characters didn‘t draw me in. Mel is rather flat, a one-dimensional character. So I‘m calling it.

This is my May #doublespin

Bookwormjillk Too bad. It has such a fun cover. 4y
TheAromaofBooks Sometimes I feel like authors seem to think that as long as their story is “diverse“ & hits some talking points, the actual plot/characters don't matter. 4y
wanderinglynn @Bookwormjillk and the hard cover under the dust jacket is fun too. Sadly, the book just wasn‘t for me. 4y

First book finished for #joyousjanuary and #slumpathon This was a fun read. It‘s a very young adult book about kids in a conventional high school (I like young adult fiction but usually read the more adventure based ones). But the theatre theme was awesome. As someone who did high school theatre it brought me right back to those happy memories. It was fun. And for me I got to share it with my daughter which made it awesome.

My 12 year old daughter just read this and loved it. So now, she tells me, I MUST read it. RIGHT NOW. I can‘t possibly read everything all of my kids read but I do try to read a few books from each kid every year. So here‘s to the first one in 2021.

This book was seriously so fun and is making me want to listen to the Les Mis soundtrack so bad right now. I love anything theater related and this was just so well done. It made me really nostalgic for days when I used to partake in theater in high school and I just loved the characters and the stories. Very fun!

I heart Robin Talley‘s books, and this one snuck up on me. Two chapters in and I‘ve LOL-ed like 20 times. I haven‘t even gotten to the heart of things, but if you were a theater kid or wanted to be, read this!!!
