I received a proof copy of this book yesterday. I started reading it when I got home from work at about 9pm and only put it down when I absolutely couldn't keep reading as I was so tired! The first thing I done this morning was pick it back up! I myself used to do drama/acting etc. so Elektra was a character I could relate to, and I think anyone who has any interest in acting would enjoy this book - although that's not to say those who don't wouldn't enjoy it either! I honestly did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did, it sounded great but I felt it would be more for the younger end of the teenage spectrum, however I now feel that, yes it would cater to them well enough, older teens will love it too! (I'm 19, so that's about as 'old' as a teen can go! haha) This is a fantastic book, quick to read, and fast-paced. It kept me turning the page and quite frankly, I didn't want it to end! More books, Perdita & Honor! Please!!

Well, this book just totally cured my February blues. WAITING FOR CALLBACK by dynamic mother/daughter duo Perdita and Honor Cargill is hilarious, and wonderfully fresh. The main character Elektra is juggling school life and exams with huge career ambitions that just can’t wait. A recipe for disaster? Or will Elektra get that call? The novel provides a fantastic insight into the unglamorous side of acting and chasing dreams, and I love the way that excitement and hope continuously bubble away despite the tedious waiting, disasters and rejections. From the funny and realistic dialogue to the ridiculous auditions Elektra find herself in (Dead school girl, for example), I found myself smiling, completely engrossed, all the way through. This really is a must read if you’re in need of an uplift.
