Storyline: Stephen is the understudy to THE Josh Harper for a one-man play. He is struggling to find himself in the acting world where he is typically cast as Dead Guy #2. As he gets sucked into Josh's celebrity world, he's placed in new situations where he doesn't always pick the best path through. I didn't love the character, and was irritated by him most of the time, so the book was a bit hard to trudge through in the middle. I liked the ending though - enough to miss my bus stop this morning!
Other: Read One Day by Nicholls and it was Ok; probably not worth the buzz it's been getting, though it did cause me to say "oh!" outloud at one point. (A trait I really like in books!)
