About this ebook

Meet Andrea Marr, straight-A high school student, thrift-store addict, and princess of the downtown music scene. Andrea is about to experience her first love, first time, and first step outside the comfort zone of high school, with the help of indie rock band The Color Green.

"After I saw Todd Sparrow something deep inside me began to change. It was not a big change and I didn't shave my head and I didn't really think any differently about my life or Hillside or anything like that. But one glimpse of Todd and you immediately realized how limited you were and all the things you could do if you could just break out of your normal existence and stop worrying about what everyone thought."

Ratings and reviews

I read this book 4 years ago and it's still my favorite. I found the character to be relatable as a young woman trying to figure out the transition from teen to adulthood.

Ever since I've read this book, nothing can top it for me. Super fun and relatable

this is THE greatest book I've ever read. helped me through middle and high school. read it as a 13 year old and still love it!
