Once More with Feeling

Sussman follows up her smash hit Funny You Should Ask with a pitch-perfect second-chance romance. When persona non grata Kathleen Rosenberg is offered the starring role in her best friend’s musical, she can’t say no. This is the best thing to happen to her since her music career went down in flames ten years ago. But there’s a catch: the director is Cal Kirby, and he’s the reason the whole world hates her. Nevertheless, Kathleen says yes, and the story takes us from auditions to workshop to out-of-town tryouts as Riveted! gets ready for its big debut, and Cal and Kathleen reckon with their past—and present. Bold, sassy, and packed with the same flavor of gossipy industry and (fictional) celebrity dirt that made Funny so much fun. For fans of Carley Fortune’s Every Summer After and Ava Wilder’s Will They or Won’t They?
