Review: Understudy - Cheyanne Young - February 2014

With college scholarships looming close and being in the top 10 finalists, Wren discovers that maybe the clue to getting pushed further into the application is by participating in school extra-curriculum activities , so she signs up for the school play which happens to be directed by the school drama teacher - her Aunt Ms Barlow. Wren doesn't get a proper part in the play and is designated to stage design and listed to play "understudy" of the main character if Gwen Summers does not pull through. Also on the stage team is newcomer Derek - fresh from a stint in juvie , he and Wren have chemistry but is chemistry enough for both of them when Wren's friendship with Margot starts getting screwed up as she hates Derek. Fast forward to one week before Opening and it seems that everything is going bottoms up with Ms Barlow resigning and actors/actresses pulling out and leaving ? What will happen when Wren tries to save the play from being destroyed ? Will she be able to save her Aunt's play Love and Suicide in time for Opening Night ? It seems that this particular "Understudy" has a lot more on her plate than reading lines as a back-up and being stage manager/director. For a nice , clean teen novel - Check out Understudy by Cheyanne Young.
