Overall
this was a really enjoyable story. The
gang is back together and Mal is his normal hysterical self. It was interesting to look in on the group
and seeing how each of their characters had developed or changed. I look forward to Ben’s story next to see
what is in store for him and where Ms. Scott will take her characters. Thank you, Kylie Scott for the mixture of
laughter and romance with a twist of the everyday happenings going on with
Stage Dive! It furnished hours of pure
reading heaven.
