Ellie Snow is a band geek. She lives and breathes for band and has finally made it to her senior year where she's the best section leader in band for the most important section -- the trumpets. Ellie has worked hard and cannot wait until her solo at the end of band camp performance. This was going to be her shining moment and she was going to rock. Just as she was about to start playing, Ellie caught site of a gorgeous guy in the stands, staring right at her, and flubbed her first note.
Turns out the very cute and distracting boy, Conner, is a new student and will be joining the trumpet section -- after band camp. If Ellie was a normal high school girl, she might know how to deal with Conner. But ever since Ellie's heart was broken her freshman year by a cruel senior, Ellie has given up on boys and built walls around herself so that it can't happen again. She likes things to be in control, but when Conner is around, Ellie finds herself flustered by her growing attraction.
When Ellie's former crush returns, Ellie finds her perfectly constructed life suddenly spinning out of control. Who knew being a band geek had this much drama?
Being a music geek myself, I immediately loved this book. Instead of the popular crowd being the focus, the band geeks get to rule and it's so much fun. Ellie is a relatable and refreshing main character. She is a control freak, and a band geek, but she also develops a softer girly side. Conner is charming and makes you swoon. Even if you've never been in band, this is a fun romantic comedy.
A sequel is in the works and I can't wait to read more about my new favorite band geeks!
