In an American suburb in the early 1980s, students at a highly competitive performing arts high school struggle and thrive in a rarified bubble, ambitiously pursuing music, movement, Shakespeare, and, particularly, their acting classes. When within this striving “Brotherhood of the Arts,” two freshmen, David and Sarah, fall headlong into love, their passion does not go unnoticed―or untoyed with―by anyone, especially not by their charismatic acting teacher, Mr. Kingsley.
The outside world of family life and economic status, of academic pressure and of their future adult lives, fails to penetrate this school’s walls―until it does, in a shocking spiral of events that catapults the action forward in time and flips the premise upside-down. What the reader believes to have happened to David and Sarah and their friends is not entirely true―though it’s not false, either. It takes until the book’s stunning coda for the final piece of the puzzle to fall into place―revealing truths that will resonate long after the final sentence.

I can see why people tend to LOVE it or HATE it. I'm one of the few somewhere in between.
评分叙事太精妙了!前半部分的美式青春读得很乏,后面渐入佳境。不同的POV来讲述,层层铺垫。你以为你看到的就是事实吗,事实到底是什么,到底有没有所谓的事实?
评分实在是欣赏不来这类晦涩难懂意义不明的高深文艺作品
评分这封面太入我眼了
