They navigated their personal demons and supported each other when they got to know each other better. Their relationship went from zero to full blast which felt weird. I liked Cyrus and Beth who are very kind and caring people. I also wanted further development of supporting characters. Because most of the story was in their head, the time they actually spent together was limited and I wanted them to spend more time together. I did find the first half of the book dragged a little with each of them in their heads with their personal issues.

We knew Cyrus from Homecoming King and Rex makes a brief appearance here. We get both Cyrus and Beth’s point of view in alternating chapters in Drama King. Character driven stories are great stories. Each person has so much more to them than the face they present to the world. The Three Kings world, based on stories about three talented guys who grew up in Texas and people they know, is fascinating. I really love Penny Reid’s characters and their unique, personal characteristics.
