The Sound of Us by Julie Hammerle

4.0

This was quite a summer for Kiki! She had suffered quite a few blows at the hands of her former best friend, and was finally getting some distance from all that drama, but the summer music program was so much more than just an escape. Once there, Kiki was no longer the sidekick or the person cast in a supporting role. She was excelling and flourishing and being appreciated for all those things she thought were shortcomings.

I loved Kiki, and I was happy she was able to escape a sort of toxic friendship. When she would reflect on some of the things her former bestie said to her, it made me sad. But, it was wonderful to see her find her people, and to see her find her true passion.

I enjoyed all the technical music bits, the friendships, the Latin, the TV talk, and excellent soundtrack references (Ani!).

Overall: Fun and cute with quite a bit of substance.
