“I am irrevocably in love with IN HARMONY.” —Katy Regnery, New York Times Bestselling AuthorThe root of all madness is an unbearable truth… their posh penthouse in New York City to the tiny town of Harmony, Indiana, Willow becomes more untethered and lost under the weight of her secret. On a whim, she auditions for a part in the community theater’s production of Hamlet and unexpectedly wins the role of Ophelia—the girl who is undone by madness, and her love of Hamlet…
Isaac Pierce is from the ‘wrong side of the tracks.’ The town bad boy. Girls pine for his attention and guys are in awe of him. That he’s an acting prodigy only adds to his charisma. Isaac utterly disappears into his characters; the stage is the only place he feels safe from his own traumatic home life. He wants nothing more than to escape to Broadway or Hollywood, and leave Harmony behind for good.
No one can play Hamlet but Isaac, and when the director pairs him with Willow in acting class, they clash again and again—neither willing to open their hearts to anyone. But clashing leads to breaking, breaking leads to the spilling of terrible secrets, and soon Isaac and Willow find Shakespeare’s words mirroring their lives. When they are cruelly torn apart, neither know how this play will end—with madness and heartache? Or healing, love, and the discovery of who they are truly meant to be.

Overwhelming and glorious is this latest stand alone, contemporary, new adult novel from the talented pen of Emma Scott. The brilliance of this novel shines from the pages capturing you from the start and never letting go even once you reach the end. I was captivated holding on to the words and feeling the characters souls with every turn of the page. Emma Scott takes heavy subject matter and turns it into something readers can relate to on a base level while inspiring us through her well developed characters.
