I have mixed feelings about this book... it is a great coming-of-age story and the characters are super lovable, but I didn't love the format it was written in and I don't think it quite lived up to the hype. my favorite part of it was how much they talked about music in the book so that I could listen while I read and feel more connected to the characters
