I realized once I started this book that I had not read the previous on in the series yet, so it was helpful to go back and connect the dots with the first two books. This was a great continuation of Bina's different journeys, musical, friendships, and romantic relationships. The only drawback for me was having to suspend the disbelief that musicians their age would be able to find venues to play. I will be interested to see if Larson gives us another installment in this series and find out what happens next for Bina and her friends.

I love these oddball musician middle-schoolers so much and I need more of their adventures in my life. This book is like a love-letter to every kid who thought "We should start a band" when they were younger (whether you actually did or not lol). It captures the angst of teenage friendships and crushes and rebellion so well and pulled me back to my (more) awkward days so many times. It's the third book in the Eagle Rock series and while it makes some sense as a standalone, I highly recommending reading the books in order to fully appreciate the story. The art is lovely and I especially enjoy how well the characters' emotions are captured. It's also impressive for any book about music to make musical scenes interesting when you cannot hear them, but it works here. I think this is a great option for any music fan, young reader dealing with middle-school woes, or older reader looking to return to that time when everything seemed possible if you and your friends could just hatch the right scheme.

This was such a cute graphic novel! I really enjoyed the story and how the girls were determined to record their song. I also understand the parents point of view. The girls could easily get taken advantage of in that industry. Overall, a great book and I hope there's more to come!

A fun finale to the trilogy. Parents can be school but ultimately they're parents and are trying to do what's best for you. Brie and her band are making tunes. They finally get a hit but it seems to good to be true. But parents are like "hmm nah not right now." As they can be taken advantage of. Appreciate that Brie makes up problems without letting them drag that much. Like how it doesn't work with s boy. She does get with her best friend. That's cool.
