A Love Story

Author:   Emily Horner

Publisher:   Dial books, 2010

Edition:   Print

Where I got the book:   Strathcona High School Library

Publisher's summary:


For months, Cass Meyer has heard her best friend, Julia, a wannabe Broadway composer, whispering about a top-secret project.  Then Julia is killed in a car accident, and Julia's drama friends make it their mission to bring the project -- a musical entitled "Totally Sweet Ninja Death Squad" -- to fruition

But Cass isn't one of the drama people.  She can't take a summer of swallowing her pride and painting sets, and she won't spend long hours with Heather Galloway, the girl who rudely questioned Cass's sexuality all through middle school and who has somehow landed the starring role.

So Cass decides to follow her original plan for a cross-country road trip with Julia.  Even if she has a touring bicycle instead of a driver's license, and even if Julia's ashes are coming along in  Tupperware.  When Cass returns in late August she's not the same person --neither, she discovers is Heather.  In fact, it's hard to tell what will happen to the play when they start falling for each other.......
