Book Beginnings:

I cupped my hand over my mouth to stifle a yawn and attempted to get more comfortable in the old wooden theater seat near the back of the auditorium. I wasn't yawning because the auditions were boring. Far from it. In fact, I loved attending auditions, especially since we were gearing up for a big summer musical production of Grease at the Cameronville Community Theater. I crossed my legs and smoothed my hands over my colorful skirt.

Summer productions had always been my favorite, since practices could be held five afternoons a week. And that meant my last summer before college would be all theater, all the time. Well, except when I was working the breakfast shift at Fork & Knife, the restaurant that my boyfriend Todd's parents owned. 

Synopsis (Goodreads):

Her heart, her dreams… or none of the above?

Chelsea Morris has always been responsible, dependable, and focused on her dreams of fashion design, a dream that will officially begin come fall, when she leaves for college in New York City. As she settles into her role as the lead designer for the local summer stock theater group, she decides to make the most of her last summer in North Carolina. But with her best friend Emily busy working late and spending time with Zander, and tensions with Chelsea's boyfriend, Todd, running high, the summer she envisioned seems to be falling flat.

Then Dylan joins the latest summer production. There's something about the college boy that makes her feel free and alive, and soon she's broken up with Todd, and is sneaking out late to meet Dylan at parties and breaking rules at the playhouse. But before she knows it, her exciting nights are interfering with her job, her role on the play, as well as her relationship with Emily and with her parents. Worse, Chelsea finds herself feeling more and more estranged from God.

As the summer becomes wilder than she ever dreamed, Chelsea must decide if her heart is leading her in the right direction after all."
