SUFFERING. I knew this book was gonna hurt me just from the description, but I still was not prepared. Such good character work, such a tragedy at the end. But at least you can also see the hope. #yalit

robinb I absolutely LOVED this one! And yes, heart wrenching but also beautiful. 2y

kissmehardy @robinb I think I preferred Amelia Unabridged, but this was fully worth the read! 2y

robinb @kissmehardy I did prefer AU (not as heartbreaking!). This author is now officially on my automatic read list because of those two. 2y

kissmehardy @robinb Mine as well! 2y

Full Flight is a young rom-com that pulls at the heart strings. It‘s about Anna and Weston who secretly need each other but who try not to make it to obvious.

I knew when reading this book that it would be about two different people who fall in love. Yes it is a little insta love but was cute anyways. I love the two different perspective.

Thank you Wednesday books and Netgalley for providing and early read for an honest review.

Avoid the full synopsis to avoid spoilers. A really great YA contemporary romance novel with lovable characters & an emotional plot. The characters & friend groups felt natural & unobtrusive, with characters other than the protagonists sidelined somewhat. This created the feeling of the world revolving around the two characters & I think it really delivered a teenage love feel. An emotional ride with an ending that can be divisive among readers.

I was highly anticipating this YA book as I loved the author‘s debut (Amelia Unabridged) last year. Set in a contemporary small town in TX, this is a story about high school bandmates Anna and Weston, who are virtually strangers when they begin practicing together (saxophone and mellophone) for a duet during contest season. Anna struggles with pinning down her future goals (music or writing) and parents who are overprotective/strict. 🔻

robinb She has always felt that she has to be “good” and excel. Weston struggles with coming to terms with his recently divorced parents as well as being seen as the “weird”, leather-jacket-wearing, nothing-but-trouble musical genius. I did enjoy this one, but I didn‘t relate as well to it as the previous one. I think a big part of why was the pacing. I felt everything was a bit rushed (especially the romance). 🔻 3y

robinb And while I felt I knew Anna fairly well, I didn‘t feel that with Weston. He seemed a bit over-the-top (with the divorce) and a little too obsessed with Anna. But one of the things the author does well is how she understands and writes teenage fears, insecurities, and confusion. All-in-all a good book about first love and the euphoria that comes along with it. 4/5 3y

so-so

I loved Schumacher‘s debut novel so I was thrilled to dive into her second YA book. This one unfolds more slowly, alternating between senior “bad boy” Weston and junior Anna. They are thrust together to play a duet in marching band which of course leads to more. Weston‘s reputation- based on his parents being divorced & his ever-present leather jacket feels rather anachronistic but there are cell phones and social media too in this small TX town.
