This Song Is (Not) for You by Laura Nowlin
2.0

Ramona and Sam are yin and yang. They make wonderful music together, but their band is missing something. When the two go audition at their choice art college, they meet Tom who likes to play with sound effects. The trio comes together to make some great music. Then Ramona starts having feelings for Tom, on top of the feeling she already has for Sam. Not wanting to ruin things with the band in the past, Ramona never took the step with Sam, but she is willing to take the chance with Tom. These characters are all special unique snowflakes, who thrive on being themselves.

I find them to be caricatures of edge teens. Sexuality comes into play in this story and it touches on narratives that I have never come across before. I know it is showing up on asexual lists, but I think it also applies to poly-amorous relationships. It wasn't a great book and I didn't have a bunch of fun, but it was unique and will stick out in my mind in the future.
