If kids like music festivals and lots of drama, this is the book for them. Love the author but this book wasn’t my favorite —I just don’t enjoy all that drama nor have I ever wanted to attend an outside camping style rock festival. Fun characters, and I appreciated that the book is about two black girls who like each other and that isn’t considered taboo.

I read this after seeing a friend recommend both of her books. I read this shortly after You Should See Me In a Crown. Leah Johnson is a great author, and I've loved both books I've read by her.
