We purchased this book for our library. It has been checked out a few times by teen patrons who seemed to enjoy it.

Unfortunately this book has gone in my DNF pile. It just wasn't engaging me like it would have years ago when I first requested it. My reading tastes have changed a lot over the years as I've gotten older and unfortunately some of the books requested years ago have been affected by my reading tastes and the fact that a lot of books for younger audiences haven't been grasping my attention as of late. I thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Bandmates Sam and Ramona are in love with each other, but neither has got around to telling the other that yet. Then new boy Tom joins their band and Ramona falls in love with him - but she still loves Sam too. How can they work this out?

Oh wow oh wow oh wow, ace representation again, an AMAZING love triangle, and three incredibly likeable main characters. This completely blew me away. I adored the way the central trio actually talk through things, I liked the relationships they had with their parents, and overall this stands out as pretty close to being unique in several ways.

I finally got around to this and I am so confused and sad. I had such high hopes because friends turned lovers PLUS MUSIC? must be a plus. No, it wasn't. This just dragged and I didn't click to the characters at all

DNF - The writing style just wasn't for me, much as the idea appealed.

I literally had to make myself finish this book, the story nor the characters were appealing to me.

Although there are some good aspects in this book I really can't deny that this is like my worst nightmare.

This is the first novel I read about Laura Nowlin although I seen her name before and was planning to read her other book. I really like her writing, and sadly that is the only thing I can say about this novel. Oh and I appreciated the book's effort to explore asexuality although it failed miserably. The love triangle was just.. a mess.

It really dragged, it keeps readers reading because it will make you believe that there will be like a big revelation or something important will happen but sadly, that didn't happen at all. I was bored and I was just pissed because the girl is just annoying and the other guys came out as crybois instead of swoony and charming. I did not like anyone at all. Plus, this book is filled with such music snobbery that it makes me wanna throw it.

Ramona and Sam are band mates are best friends. Ramona is in love with Sam, but afraid to ruin their friendship, she keeps her feelings secret. When she meets Tom, she is convinced that he should be the third member of the band, and her new boyfriend.

Sam has long held his feelings for Ramona secret, but when she starts dating Tom he can’t help but wonder if his chance with Ramona is gone forever.

Tom struggles with his own feelings. He loves Ramona, but he doesn’t have any sexual desire for her, or for anyone that is.

A refreshing romantic triangle that is modern and realistic

Thank you so much for approving me. Unfortunately I ended up not being able to finish this book.
