Echo After Echo
Echo After Echo | Amy Rose Capetta
10 posts | 10 read | 13 to read
Debuting on the New York stage, Zara is unprepared for Eli, the girl who makes the world glow; for Leopold, the director who wants perfection; or for death in the theater. Zara Evans has come to the Aurelia Theater, home to the visionary director Leopold Henneman, to play her dream role in Echo and Ariston, the Greek tragedy that taught her everything she knows about love. When the director asks Zara to promise that she will have no outside commitments, no distractions, its easy to say yes. But its hard not to be distracted when theres a death at the theater and then another especially when Zara doesnt know if theyre accidents, or murder, or a curse that always comes in threes. Its hard not to be distracted when assistant lighting director Eli Vasquez, a girl made of tattoos and abrupt laughs and every form of light, looks at Zara. Its hard not to fall in love. In heart-achingly beautiful prose, Amy Rose Capetta has spun a mystery and a love story into an impossible, inevitable whole and cast lantern light on two young women, finding each other on a stage set for tragedy.

I didn‘t enjoy this as much as The Lost Coast or The Heartbreak Bakery for a variety of reasons (no real magic, the ending felt incomplete, a couple small instances of my pet peeve) but it was still wonderful. There‘s a murder mystery, a queer romance, a grand old theater, an abusive director, a Greek tragedy that isn‘t real but sure feels like it could be. Capetta‘s writing and the characters consistently suck me in.

This sentence struck my funny bone and will live with me for a while. We may not like Leopold, but at least he owns who he is.

Happy #YAPride to me! ECHO AFTER ECHO showed up at the store yesterday and I snatched it up right away. It's about a girl in high school working to solve a series of deaths (murders?) at her theatre, and the lady lighting director that she's falling for. It's a potentially magical mystery with a queer girl romance set in a theatre. What's not to want?!
