An Unperfect Actor

Stephanie Beatty, professor of Shakespeare and medieval studies in New York, never thought she'd be orphaned, divorced, and childless at 38. Worse, after three years at her new university, she still hasn't made any real connections. Her one escape is daydreaming about her favorite Shakespearean actor, William Lindsey. But daydreams are just daydreams...right? A flippant invitation changes everything when William agrees to workshop with her students, and suddenly, Stephanie finds herself spending a whirlwind weekend with her beloved actor. But will her fear of loss-and Will's distrust of his own judgment-condemn their fledgling relationship before it can open its wings? Full of literary references to the Bard and other classics, An Unperfect Actor is the deeply emotional and often bitingly funny character study of a fangirl and the object of her adoration, trying to negotiate the complexities of love from two different worlds.
