Mazie

Mazie by Melanie Crowder
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

A small town girl trying to make it as a Broadway performer is like getting to read a story that is Thoroughly Modern Millie meets Smash. But, it's just not great. I persevered because the overall premise was so appealing, but I should have stopped the first time I cringed at the dialogue. This is like reading a book version of a Hallmark movie that uses anachronistic and trite expressions alongside some very problematic appearance related storylines (i.e. the need to lose weight, wear make up, etc, etc.). It's a no for me even though I love Broadway so much.

Happy reading and happy song belting--
