Fifteen year old Jessie just graduated from high school and is hoping something exciting happens in her life. Raised in a theater family, her home is a mix of talent, races and abilities. Her big graduation party is a huge success until she catches her dad cheating on her mom, with a man. Now everything is different. Within a few weeks, Dad and his boyfriend have moved back in and are living in the attic, mom may be having a fling with an old friend, a crazy aunt sends missionaries to their home preaching the world will end when the Mayan calendar expires.
This novel reads like a farce; situations stack until everything is chaos. So many people living at her house, so many theater cliches. There are too many stereotypes: Gay costumer, diva actress, director who sleeps around, eccentric choreographer. Pa-leeze! The plot line is so scattered I'm exhausted. Too many sub plots.
