Add a CommentJosie Pie was on top of the world back home in Arizona, where she was a musical theatre prodigy. But after dropping out of high school to pursue her dreams on Broadway, Josie realizes that working on Broadway is much more challenging than she anticipated; and it’s nothing like the plays she starred in back home in Arizona. Desperate to pay off her credit card debt, she takes a job as a nanny and starts to spend more time reading. But she quickly gets sucked into the books - literally! Josie becomes a graphic novel superhero, a heroine of a historical romance, and the protagonist in a dystopian novel. But soon she realizes that she has to choose between the fantasy worlds in her books and the real world around her. 3.5/5 stars - SAPL Read it & Review Contributor
