Will Clay and Kyle succeed with their podcast, the school play, and the dance?
Clay and Kyle, two best friends, love to have fun with their wacky humor all the time. Clay decides to try her hand at stardom by auditioning for the school play “Gals and Dolls.” However, the director has zero tolerance for fun, and Clay wants to enjoy herself. So, Clay and Kyle came up with the idea for a podcast where they can freely express their humor. Will their podcast be successful? Will Clay perform well in her role? And will she get the opportunity to ask her crush to the 8th-grade dance?
The book was incredibly entertaining with its quirky humor, and I frequently found myself bursting into laughter at Clay’s amusing behavior. The storyline was gripping and left me questioning whether it was based on a true story. I appreciated the representation of autism through Kyle, as it resonated with me.
Clay’s comedic timing never failed to bring a smile to my face, and Kyle’s gamer persona added an extra layer of depth to the characters. Dania, Clay’s love interest, was not only stunning but also possessed a remarkable singing talent.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates humor and would find joy in this captivating narrative.
