This was really different -- in a good way -- and I hope I can convince others to try it. It's a story about role-playing - both in relationships and on the stage. It's a really sweet f/f love story. It's also a murder mystery. And as I read it I couldn't stop thinking about Harvey Weinstein.Why?

YA murder mystery with bisexual lead set in theater that you always wanted!(at least that I wanted and I’m so happy with this book!)Echo After Echo is a standalone novel about young actress Zara getting the lead role in Echo and Ariston play in famous New York theater. We follow the production of the play, rehearsals and backstage activities. On the first day, the light designer dies and things get worse from their.It’s difficult read, the author doesn’t glamorize the realities of theater life.Z...

“This is the Aurelia Theater. It feels like coming home.” Echo after Echo is an own voices novel, that has such a beautiful f/f romance, surrounding a Broadway theater crew getting ready for opening night, while also trying to solve a murder mystery that may or may not be a curse set on the theater they all love and adore. I devoured this with a smile on my face. I was completely enthralled and immersed by this. I love this story with my entire being. This theater crew has from Novemb

Echo After Echo is a f/f murder mystery set in a theater. I thought a book with a premise such as this couldn't be boring, but Echo After Echo had pacing problems, and that wasn't even the only thing that went wrong.Even mystery books I didn't love - for example, Far From You and Dangerous Girls - took me half a day. I read 90% of my one true weird love A Line in the Dark in one afternoon.Echo After Echo took me almost a week.What I love about mystery books is that the tension keeps me reading e...

*4.5/5Breathtaking in a heart-pounding, utter-dread-with-a-side-of-truly-remarkable-romance kind of way. In other words, a book that was perfectly suited to me.

It's so rare to find a book where the main characters are LGBTQ and their love story isn't engulfed in stigma or cultural acceptance. For me what makes Echo After Echo so wonderful is that at its core it's a love story that is not contrived, forced or surrounded in stigma. The Love StoryPerhaps this will not make sense to some, but I just have to say that for me (a bi-sexual woman), it is so refreshing to read a story where a woman falls in love with another woman and the basis of that love has

This book. This book this book this book.I swear this book saw into my very soul. I mean sure it was a really dark, twisted af murder mystery, but the characters. Zara and Eli just,,, <3I related so incredibly much to both of them. Like holy shit. And not just the whole queer theatre kid thing (although that too) it was just,,, something deeper than that. There were so many lines that resonated so deeply with me, about theatre, about love, about family, and life, about queerness, about everythin...

Around 3.5/5 stars? This is a murder mystery set in a sort of greek tragedy play with... a f/f romance between a fat jewish bisexual actress and a PUERTO RICAN lesbian lighting assistant and W O W. I had my doubts about it at first because the pacing seemed very slow and I wasn't sure what was going on, but after it passes the 60% mark things kind of start falling into place and there are a lot of red herrings but the romance!! Wow the romance was so sweet and angsty without being bad or trope...

The romance between Zara, a bisexual who names her identity powerfully, and Eli is really great. The setting is engaging and exciting, and I love the whole idea of a teen leaving home early to follow her theater dreams.But the mystery was so weak and felt really shoved in. I never got a sense of Leopold beyond a stereotypical skeezy director. I think this could have been an awesome romance OR an awesome mystery, but bringing them together just didn't work. It was overlong and unfortunately, it u...

Gorgeous, intense, romantic, mysterious, and a really pleasant surprise to me in the Jewish rep, too.

Literally, the first word that comes to mind when I think about this novel is 'adorable'. Zara is adorable. Eli is adorable. They are bloody adorable together, and I think my stone-cold heart nearly burst from the sheer cuteness of it all. It took a little bit of effort to get into the writing style at the beginning of this one, but once I managed to settle in, then I was pretty much hooked. I loved the concept of the novel, I loved how quickly I became defensive over characters, and I loved how...

Wowww this book took me completely by surprise!! I picked it up for the romance and got invested in the mystery. I also just went to a (pretty gay!) women's march this morning, so this was the perfect book for the day! It's super timely and much deeper than I expected.☆Characters☆Zara is such a powerful, precious squishbean!! And says she's bisexual on👏 the 👏 page!👏 Eli is hilarious and beautiful, and, and, and, they just broke my heart, y'all. The side characters are all interesting, too! They'...

The thing I keep coming back to about Echo after Echo is the sheer power of the writing. Almost everything about this book is awesome, but the writing is stunning. It is "I will remember this for the rest of my life" stunning. I genuinely do not remember the last time I read a book written so beautifully. I wanted to highlight every other sentence but I didn't want to put it down because it was so. fucking. engaging. I am going to read every single thing Amy Rose Capetta publishes for the rest o...

Checkout my full review on my blog! http://omgbooksandmorebooks.blogspot....This book has the perfect elements of mystery, suspense and romance! I was afraid that I would not like this book because of the theater like elements but I was so wrong. It was actually one of the things I loved most about this book. AND there is a f/f romance AND one of the characters is bi. The writing is lyrical and enchanting. What more do you need from this book? Everyone needs this book!!

See more of my reviews on The YA Kitten! My copy was an ARC I got from the publisher as a reviewer for YA Books Central.*Eli is Puerto Rican, Zara is culturally Jewish*Eli is a lesbian, Zara is bi, and there are plenty of queer side charactersMuch like we now own every rainbow in existence, queer people own the world of theater. We may not always be visible, but we're definitely there. (I'm always in the audience. I may be ridiculously dramatic, but I can't act in front of a crowd to save my lif...

4.75Thank you so much to Candlewick Press for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!I don't remember giving A.R. Capetta the rights to my biography??This book follows a fat, queer, Jewish girl who moves to NYC to pursue theatre but ends up being manipulated and abused by a narcissistic and misogynistic director. (Like hello??? How is this not my life story??) Also the MC flirts by quoting Macbeth and mentioning God of Vengeance. I think I’ve been cloned.Through the narr...

My Video Review3.5 starsSo much diversity! A bisexual female Jewish protagonist, a lesbian Puerto Rican secondary character, and a side character who talks about his experience with ADHD and dyslexia.Unfortunately I found the ending to be abrupt, but other than that I really enjoyed it.

3.5 starsI really loved the writing style in this book. It definitely brought an added layer of atmosphere to the story and I really loved the choices Capetta made regarding the writing. I also thought Zara as a main character was a really good choice and I loved seeing her development over the course of the story! I also really loved her romance with Eli and the amount of Yearning in it. Yearning theater sapphics are something that is very personal to me and I adored reading about them!! I will...
