Major Crush by Jennifer Echols

4.0

Virginia Sauter is a beauty pageant retiree and her high school’s first ever female drum major. However, she has to share that leadership position with Drew, super-hot senior whom she has a crush on. It’s too bad he has a stick up his you-know-what and has bad taste in girls, as seen by his girlfriend, the Evil Twin.

When Mr. Rush, their young and new band director, threatens them with removal from their drum major positions, they are forced to get along—or at least pretend to. Quite surprisingly, and pleasantly, sparks begin to fly between the two. If they want to get together, though, they’re going to have to get past numerous obstacles, including their own stubborn personalities, the numerous boys who have a crush on Virginia, and the Evil Twin’s jealousy and, well, evil ways. Rumors and assumptions could tear the blossoming couple apart…and their band along with them.

It’s not often that we come across a book that combines romance with marching band, and I’m glad that this book was written. MAJOR CRUSH is adorable and has a lot of funny moments. For someone looking for a light but fun read, this is definitely a good choice.
