Reviews

"Larson's comic charms with its two-tone pink panels and sweetly wrought tale... Bina's journey of self-discovery is captivating... Bina and Austin's friendship has had its ups and downs, and those who have followed this series will relish seeing resolution in the will-they, won't-they leading up to this volume... Like a catchy song, this hits all the right notes." -- Kirkus

"The girls' ambition, coupled with big teenage emotions, will resonate most strongly with middle school readers who also feel caught between their dreams and their parents' wishes. Bina's romance subplots feel age-appropriate and well incorporated into the book... An enjoyable, emotional read for fans of the series and newcomers alike."-- School Library Journal
