    Echo After Echo by Amy Rose Capetta 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, it’s easy to say yes. But it’s hard not to be distracted when there’s a death at the theater — and then another — especially when Zara doesn’t know if they’re accidents, or murder, or a curse that always comes in threes. It’s 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. It’s 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. 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.

    A Nore From AUTHOR Amy Rose Capetta This book is a love story. It’s wrapped in layers of theater and mystery, in dark deeds and bright hope. At its heart, it’s about a girl who falls in love, With acting. With her own growing bravery. With another girl ‘When I was the same age as my main character, Zara, I lived for theater. Writing Echo After Echo was my chance to return to it. To the feel of the stage lights on my skin and the small, intense world that a theater company creates. But the real reason I wrote this book is simple: I fell in love. Ik was the most beautiful feeling in the world—even though it often felt like the whole world was against us. When I turned to stories for help, I read over and over that love between two girls would end in loss, heartbreak, tragedy. I could only find a handful of books that broke the pattern, and I felt desperately pulled to write about, love like mine: epic and intimate, thrilling and terrifying. I strove to write a story that upends expectations. That offers beautiful hope with both hands and doesn’t snatch it away. That shows teen girls in love who are talented, ambitious, and willing to speak the truth when everyone around them has fallen dangerously silent. Iwant to share my secret working title: No More Tragic Queers. While I was writing, I was terrified there would be no audience for this story outside of my own head, But then this book found Miriam Newman, my blazingly brilliant editor, and the amazing team at Candlewick. ‘This has been a collaborative community effort to rival any theater production. I learned that there is a home for a love story like mine. ‘There is a world where my girlfriend and I, and all of our truths, belong. #echoafterecho CANDLEWICK PRESS
