4/5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot to say and some important themes and the characters were brilliant.
Zelda, her brother and her brother's new boyfriend are attending an improvisational comedy camp for two weeks in the mountains. Zelda's excited but when they arrive she discovers that she's one of only 5 girls which doesn't fill her with hope. Hope that diminishes further when, though she's cast in the top Varsity team, she's constantly the butt of the joke and being cast in parts such as "prostitute".
The situation is worsened by a coach who in the room is constantly criticising her work and giving her contrary advice, but outside, in private, is giving her compliments and kissing her.
I really enjoyed the story's progression and Zelda's gradual realisation of how wrong things were. I just would have liked a little more ending. Maybe an epilogue of them coming back the following year and things being so much better.
