Notes from an Accidental Band Geek by Erin Dionne
4.0
First of all: can I just say, that as a former drumcorps kid, how incredibly HAPPY I am to finally read a (marching) band book??
This was such a fun read. It would be just as fun reading this from a non-band perspective, since the MC doesn't know anything about band, but as a former band member, I just found myself sitting here like; "accurate (.....) Jup, that's band alright" I was laughing and smiling through the whole book, while I definitely relived some memories of my own time with the band. It was great.
I just thought that halfway through the book, the MC was literally the worst. But that was all part of character building and stuff, so I forgave her.
I think my favorite quote of the book was (slightly spoiler-ish, so don't read if you don't want to know ANYTHING about the book):
βI've kind of always wanted a blue-haired, facially decorated sibling.β He patted my head. βAt your service, petit poulet.β
