As the two girls arrive at the locker room, where none of the lockers actually lock, Katy gushes that surely Selena will get the part of Juliet in the spring play, but Selena is super humble and isn’t sure.

They briefly discuss the spring play before Katy, a stagehand and Selena’s best friend, arrives to save her from the small talk. Pretty harsh reaction to a friendly conversation but OK. Selena can’t believe that she managed to put up with his showing off and selfishness for six months.

On the way to the cast locker room, she bumps into her ex-boyfriend, stocky, blonde senior Danny. He also lets everyone know that tryouts start next week for the spring play, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, which excites Selena. Mr Riordan, the drama club director, praises everyone and reminds them about the cast party at his house later that night. It’s also really drilled into us that ‘Selena’ means ‘moon’. It would be way too obvious for him to be The Sun, so he’s definitely a red herring. Alison is more an acquaintance than a friend, but she’s been friends with Jake for years and he’s the only person that still calls Selena by her childhood nickname, Moon. We meet Selena as she swaps praises with Alison and Jake , two of her co-stars in the school play that’s just had its final showing. The Sun also vows to be the only person in Selena’s audience. Looks more yellow to me on the cover but OK. Other than to describe what Selena looks like to the audience, there’s no point to it, especially because Selena never gets the letter anyway? Her name means ‘moon’, which was apparently a good choice on her parents’ part because like the moon, Selena is pale, beautiful and mysterious, with silvery hair reminiscent of the moon’s rays. The book opens with a prologue in the form of a letter addressed to Selena from The Sun. Jake – Another close friend who’s been acting strange lately.ĭanny – Selena’s ex-boyfriend who won’t leave her alone.Įddy – The mysterious, super intense intern and Selena’s love interest. Katy – Selena’s clingy best friend and stagehand for the play. Selena – Our protagonist and Shadyside High’s resident star.

Selena knows “The Sun” is responsible.Īnd that her number-one fan has become her number-one nightmare.įirst impressions: How did Selena not notice the message on the mirror before she pulled out a brush? I hope she’s not as dumb as she looks or else this is going to be a loooooooong book. Her understudy is injured in a suspicious accident. So when she starts receiving bouquets of dead flowers from a person called “The Sun”, she treats them as a joke.īut Selena soon realises that this is no laughing matter. Her acting career at Shadyside High is blossoming – everyone admires her.
