The real drama happens backstage in this juicy novel about an idyllic summer theater where hot stars, has-beens, and hopefuls chase roles--and each other. Charlie Savoy was once Hollywood's hottest A-lister. Now, ten years later, the former ingenue is pushing forty, exiled from the film world and reluctantly back at the summer Shakespeare theater that launched her career--and where her old flame, Nick, is the artistic director. It's not exactly her first choice. But as parts are cast and rehearsals begin, Charlie is surprised to find herself getting her groove back, bonding with celebrity actors, forging unexpected new friendships, and even reigniting her spark with Nick, who still seems to bring out the best in her despite their complicated history. Until Charlie's old rival, Hollywood's current It-Girl, is brought in to attract theater donors, threatening to undo everything she's built. As the drama amps up both on the stage and behind the curtains, Charlie must put on the show of a lifetime to fight for the second chance she deserves in career and in love. With an unforgettable cast of characters and undeniable charm, Aimee Agresti's Once More With Feeling is about first loves, second chances, and third acts.
