I did find this book a little cheesy however I expected that and like a little cheesiness :-) All in all it was quick read and a decent way to pass some down time. I am fan of Jennifer Echols, this was not my favorite book of hers but still I enjoyed reading the book. I could be biased since I am a fan of hers, Oh Well!!

So we have Virgina a girl who used be in the Pageant circle until her Freshman year and then she all of sudden decides to quit the pageant circle, join the band as a drummer, and get her nose pierced. Which for a southern girl is not normal. We find out later on in the book why she went through such a dramatic change. Part of it has to do with her Crush (daniel) she has on the drum major and the other part has to do with a family issue that she still can not forgive her father for.

Through all of this she ends up being elected co-drum major with her CRUSH. Her crush since she was a freshman. So of coarse enter teen angst, drama, sexual tensions, flirtatious banter, and of coarse the guy is hot with southern gentleman manners. Everything you love to read in a ya novel.

While Virgina in my opinion did tend to sound stuck up at times and treat one of her best friends kind of poorly knowing he had a crush on her. What teenage girl did not kind treat someone a little poorly when she did not return the same romantic feelings. It's part of growing up and not knowing how to deal with those kind of emotions.

Anyway the premise of the story is can her Crush (the other Drum Major) learn to get along as co-drummer majors and overcome past teasing/embarassment to start a relationship together. To move from crush faze to romance stage
