I went into this book feeling unsettled by the first 20% but it sure redeemed itself by the end. This was a very fast-paced book that tackled the topics of sexism and misogyny within the comedy industry very well.

Sixteen-year-old Zelda Bailey-Cho and her brother, Will accompanied by his new boyfriend, Jonas arrive in Colorado for their 2-week improv camp. I'm a sucker for a book set at a camp and Unscripted was a new camp story I hadn't read before. Nor did I even know that improv camp existed so I learned a lot about improv through this book. Zelda encounters misogyny and is taken advantage of by her camp coach, Ben. Zelda learns a lot about herself and grows as a person. I loved her fierceness and I was rooting for her when she stood up for herself.

I really enjoyed how the author tackled the issues of sexism and misogyny, it was very well done and thought out. I was furious at Ben and the Paul's as they were very close-minded and brushed off Ben's behavior which made the story fuller and realistic.

I loved the friend group and the boy scouts as well as the diversity within each character. However, I did feel unsettled by the adjectives the author chose to describe minor characters by writing "two guys who looked black, and five guys who were probably white". This sentence really unsettled me but the author did get better at this throughout the book.

I thought this was a great empowering book about females in the comedy industry. Some minor flaws were the formatting of the book I read on my Kindle some of the words were cut up and at times it took away from my reading experience and there were some grammatical and spelling errors.

Would recommend!
