![]() ![]() Ramona has been in love with Sam basically since the second they met. SKIP RIGHT OVER THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS, OKAY? ![]() They changed their name to Vandalized by Glitter and make lovely, weird music together. Tom’s a little overwhelmed by Ramona’s nonstop enthusiasm, but he feels drawn to Ramona and Sam, so joins their band. Ramona instantly decides that he should be in their band. ![]() At their audition, they meet Tom, a senior from another area school. They intend to go to Artibus College of Music and Arts together after graduation. They stick together and spend a lot of time practicing with their band (which is just the two of them), April and the Rain. Sam and Ramona go to a prep school where they don’t really fit in (nor would they want to). Unlike MANY books with alternate narration, their voices are distinctive and it eventually becomes VERY important to be able to see the story from each of their points of view. The three main characters, Sam, Tom, and Ramona, take turns narrating. I burned through this book in about 90 minutes. Let’s put this right here in the front, just in case you plan to skim this review: THIS BOOK FEATURES AN ASEXUAL MAIN CHARACTER WHO TALKS A LOT ABOUT BEING ASEXUAL. How can she be true to her feelings without breaking up the band? But she hasn’t fallen out of love with Sam either. Except Ramona’s falling in love with Tom. Tom makes music too, and he’s the band’s missing piece. ![]()
