Short Story Saturday: Starry-Eyed, The Artful Dodger

Welcome to Short Story Saturday! Each week, I'll talk about a different story from the collection I'm working my way through and offer up some thoughts. I'm currently reading Starry-Eyed: 16 Stories that Steal the Spotlight.

Story: The Artful Dodger
Author: Aimee Friedman
Summary: Ruthie's first summer at Camp Backstage is full of dramatics on stage and off.
Thoughts: A cute and heartbreaking read, but the ending felt abrupt and unresolved (which was clearly intentional, but it still didn't sit well with me). No particularly strong feelings on this quick story.
