Can she navigate its twists and turns before the lights come up and the music starts playing?

Larson's artwork is crisp and bold; perfectly suited to her story and characters . . . The visual portrayal of Bina's love of music, and her joy in losing herself in the creative process, is especially wonderful. --The New York Times Bina's smart, likable, and familiar, and her coming-of-age fears are palpably engaging as she learns that romance need not be romantic.Larson has a wonderfully sharp eye for her characters, including a range of skin tones, sexual orientations, and body types.Aftermatter includes Larson's explanation of her artistic process and is sure to inspire budding artists. Altogether perfect. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review Light purple washes contrast with thick, bold lines, creating an appropriate balance in a narrative containing moments of both emotive strength and fragility. Other symbolic visual elements, such as arrows and sound effects, add backstory and humor. --Horn Book Heartfelt and authentic, this book tenderly captures the ebb and flow of love and friendship . . . For older kids and younger teens who love graphic novels and realistic fiction about music, friendship, and growing up. --School Library Journal Larson realistically captures the emotional minefield that is middle school through Bina and her friends, who are all authentically flawed . . .
