Drum Roll, Please by Lisa Jenn Bigelow

4.0

This book has a lot to love: a baby bisexual main character, complicated best friendship, music as a metaphor for life, dealing with your parents divorcing... and on top of that, this is one of the few books I can think of where the protagonist is 13, in that awkward age between MG and YA, and the writing really straddles that transition well. Definitely check this one out, even if you are on the fence about reading MG.
