This was a fun coming of age story. Nina’s books all have the same carefree vibe to them and I love them. I feel like they would all make great movies.

This reminds me of the summer after high school. Not the greatest writing in the world but it’s sweet and holds sentimental value in the lessons that the characters learn and the reminder to cherish the even less than perfect moments

Really enjoyable. In the summer after high school, a girl group and their friend drive from San Francisco to Portland, playing gigs and learning a lot about themselves and each other. I liked the distinctive characters and the book really captures that fleeting feeling of the world being your oyster before reality sets in.

For most of the book, I was rather disenchanted with the frequent and casual use of the f-word. And I wasn't completely in love with the story. But by the end, I found myself moved by the realizations of and interactions between the main characters. It all came together very nicely, and I felt impressed by LaCour's skill at fleshing out her characters so believably and meaningfully.

I spent a lazy day reading this story and felt overwhelmed at the end. Perfect for any teen about to start a new phase of their life.

This was a nice and short read perfect for getting out of a reading slump.
Reasons to read this book:
+It's about a group of friends going on a road trip. Cmon, Who doesn't like reading about road trips?
+The main characters form a badass girl band.
+There is a ton of Great music references here,one of my favorite aspects of the book.
+The characters are all likeable(besides the main male character. I kinda found him annoying because of his idealization of Bev).
+The ending was wholesome, I am glad they included the tattoo guy for the ending because he is a cool and interesting character.
Dispite disscusing serious topics like: searching for your place in the world, dealing with family problems, dealing with mental illness(anxiety and panic attacks), tearing down false ideas of someone, and growing up into adulthood, the book was easy to read. Not to mention that it doesn't have a single dull moment in it.
Unfortunately, I can't give it more than 3 stars because I find it good but not nearly as some other books I have read that talk about similar or same topics. I did have fun reading it though, would definitely recommend.
