I loved this book! A quick read that filled me with nostalgia for being a high school senior trying to make the most of her final year. What really made the book shine were the multitude of relationships, which were realistic and warm, but not perfect. I especially loved Hannah's relationship with her parents, which was both loving and at times strained: exactly how I remember my teen years.
I loved the casual representation of a bisexual male love interest, which is so rare to find in YA. (Especially in a story with a female lead!) The representation in this book in general felt much more in touch with real high schools than a lot of other YA I've read.
I wish this book was out when I was a band kid, because I would have loved to read it in high school! A great read for marching band members, marching band alumni, or any ambitious kid in high school: they'll be able to relate to Hannah!
