If you're a fan of Gayle Forman, chances are you'll also love this book. Also if you love marching band, because there's so much marching band in this book. That aspect definitely brought me back to high school, because some of my favorite memories came from band. And some of my best friends.

But I digress! Schumacher did a greta job writing the characters and there are some beautifully lyrical moments in this book. I appreciated the evolving relationship between Anna and Weston, even if the trajectory is a bit predictable. I'm also not a huge fan of the instant love trope, and that's a little of what we get between them. Makes sense for teenage relationships though, 100%.

All in all, if you love sweet love stories that will likely make you cry, you'll definitely want to pick this one up!
