3.75 Stars!

This was cute. I am a Redsox fan, & I bought this book as a signed edition at a bookstore in Boston while traveling to see a Sox game, so It felt like all the stars aligning. 

I loved the setting of a high school boarding school focused on music and the arts. The forced proximity/ roommates trope is always a favorite and lead to some silly & some awkward moments. Sophie was an interesting FMC, but I do wish we got Jonas's POV. Jonas was over the top grumpy & rude at the beginning of the story, and without being in his mind we never got a real reason for why.  I really enjoyed Sophie finding a new love for music, while finding a new way to continue her love for sports. Her relationship with her dad was also really well done. It felt meaningful and incorporated really well.

I also really loved the side characters, Astrid, Revi, Andy, and the students all helped create beautiful moments and laughs. This book mainly loses points for Jonas. I wish his motivations felt a little more complete and flushed out.
