I didn't know how much I loved Ferris Bueller until I read this book.   It was SO cute, so perfectly Young Adult, the sweetest romance.   Very believable characters, good inner dialogue and good on audio.  One of my favorite audiobook narrators plays Everett.  I loved how true it was to the original Ferris Bueller movie but also quite a love letter to Philadelphia.   The sibling character (played by Jennifer Gray) is now her brother James.  Best friend Isa is in love with James, and Grace (who has faked her illness for epic senior skip day) is in love with Everett.  

Maybe I was just in the mood for a YA romance, but I think this is my favorite KL Walther yet.
