Full Flight by Ashley Schumacher

4.0

I immediately decided to read Full Flight because I so thoroughly enjoyed the author’s debut novel, Amelia Unabridged. This is a bit more grounded in reality, without the bookish fantasy threads going through AU. But they both have themes of friendship, loss and grief, and feeling lonely and separate. Both are lovely and real and struck at my heart. And as a band member in high school myself, and a mom to three marching band kids, it was fun to be so immersed in marching band in a novel. I immediately handed it over to my youngest, currently in band, who enjoyed all the band geek references. Even as fun as it is for readers who have been or are in marching band, it still will ring true for others, as band is just a construct where the important themes can play out.
