This was SO great, and I would love a tween movie that's like School of Rock meets Camp, starring Krysten Ritter as Donna the no-nonsense punk rock camp counselor.

Melly has come to camp because her friend Olivia begged her to. But now that she's here she realizes that she adores playing the drums. They give this otherwise shy girl a voice.

I thought Drum Roll, Please was a really cute read. Melly was a solid main character, the friendship angst worked, and the romance was cute. I also absolutely loved Donna and how strict yet heart-of-gold she was. However, I do this thing where I compare every MG f/f book I read to [b:Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World|35604722|Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World|Ashley Herring Blake|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1502132156l/35604722._SX50_.jpg|56037785] and they just never measure up. I know I shouldn't do this because the more MG LGBTQ+ books there are the better. But I just wanted more from Drum Roll, Please. Maybe slightly more characterization. Slightly more familial and friendship angst. If the rockstar camp was maybe 1 month, then this book would've been slightly longer and then we could've gotten more in it. But as it stands now, I feel like it's sort of forgettable.

Very sweet summer camp story, about growing up, growing apart from friends, developing crushes, dealing with hard truths, and learning who you are and what you stand for. I love Melly and all of her big emotions that she feels like she can only express while playing the drums.
