Exclusive Edition features a Q&A at the back and an exclusive jacket.From the author of Love, Simon (Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda) bestselling YA rom-com queen Becky Albertalli, comes a new novel about daring to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight in love, life and, yes, theatre.Contrary to popular belief, best friends Kate and Anderson are not codependent. Carpooling to and from theatre rehearsals? Environmentally sound and efficient. Consulting each other on every single life decision? Basic good judgment. Pining for the same guys from afar? Shared crushes are more fun anyway.But when Kate and Andy's latest long-distance crush shows up at their school, everything goes off-script. Matt is talented and sweet, and Kate likes him. She really likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson.Turns out, communal crushes aren't so fun when real feelings are involved. This one might even bring the curtains down on Kate and Anderson's friendship."Reading a Becky Albertalli book is like spending an afternoon with your best friends, and Kate in Waiting is no exception. I'm always blown away with how relatable her books are, and even though it's been a few years since I was in high school, she managed to transport me right back there. I loved this book for its charming characters, its exploration of both platonic and romantic relationships, and all its cute and wholesome moments!" Tanaya, Dymocks Marketing Coordinator
