Short Story Saturday: Starry-Eyed, Gravy and Mashed

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: Gravy and Mashed
Author: Tanya Lee Story
Summary: Jess's stage fright and ex-friend Mia are the biggest obstacles standing between her and acceptance into the musical theatre college of her dreams.
Thoughts: A sweet little story about a girl not knowing her own potential, an audition take on David and Golliath. Jess's friends and teachers are supportive and I liked seeing a YA story with an adult portrayed in a positive light.
