A parent would reach for this book when their teenage daughter is navigating the social minefield of middle or high school and needs to see that her desire for independence and a creative outlet is normal. It is a perfect fit for the girl who feels like she is constantly balancing the pressure to fit in with the internal drive to do something big and bold with her friends. The story follows a group of girls who decide to form a band, but the focus is less on musical perfection and more on the hilarious, messy, and often awkward reality of teenage collaboration. It captures the essence of early 2000s girlhood, exploring themes of loyalty, self-confidence, and the bravery it takes to put yourself out there. While it contains some mild teen rebellion and snark, it serves as an excellent mirror for the age-appropriate struggle to find one's voice within a peer group.
