This is a classic tale of a high school girl with a crush with a twist. The book follows Riley, a young girl who is in distress after finding out that two of her band mates are dating. She wants to know what she is missing out on. So, she recruits friend and fellow band mate, Reid to work together "to find love, or whatever," while also trying to keep their band going. They document every step of their process in the "Passenger Manifest", a notebook with every detail of how it's is going for them as well as tips and tricks about how to successfully approach the opposite gender. That is where Ted Callahan comes into play... Ted is Rileys forever crush, and her main target. However, somewhere between here and there other guys come into play and Riley must decide how to navigate the struggles of budding teen romances.
What will happen? Will Riley and Reid find what they are looking for? You will have to read to find out!!
I really enjoyed this book! It was light, breezy, and very very funny. It was an awesome summer read for on a plane, by the pool, or for your hammock. I would recommend this book to teenage girls. However, there is talk about sex, drinking, and sneaking out in the novel. If you can look past that you will find a story that is truly lovable. You will fall in love with Riley, Ted, and he rest of the group as you get to know the characters.
I hope you check it out!! I personally loved Amy's writing style so I am going to read her book The New Guy (and other senior year distractions) next.
Happy reading!!!
