Not with the Band

By: Kelli Warner

Narrated by: Melissa Moran, Aaron Shedlock

Drama. Jerks. Another new school.

Those are three things Kassidy Perry vows to avoid her senior year of high school. Unfortunately, it looks like the Universe didn't get the memo. When her mom marries the football coach from a rival high school, Kassidy's forced to move (again), enroll in a new school (again), and adapt to life with three stepbrothers, including the school's star quarterback who's barely said two words to her. And what's up with her incredibly hot-yet-cocky neighbor who's developed a weird habit of climbing the trellis to her bedroom's balcony? Nothing about her senior year is turning out the way Kassidy planned - and that's before a revealed family secret drops the biggest bombshell yet.

Jordan Lawson could care less about football, even though he's starting his senior year on the radar of college recruiters. He just wants to play music with his band, win a national contest with a record label, and pursue his dream of being a musician. When those plans are threatened, his saving grace lies in the hands of his new stepsister. But how can he ask Kassidy for a monumental favor, when he's partly to blame for derailing her life? And what if getting what he wants puts her dreams in jeopardy?

In her debut YA novel, Kelli Warner weaves a humorous and relatable story about finding your way in a world you can't control - and what happens when the people you least expect turn out to be the ones you need the most.

Love it!

The family dynamic in this was really cute and I loved the growing bond between Kassidy and Jordan.

I didn't really understand the point of the Nichole thing. I thought it was an interesting twist that had a lot of potential. It just didn't really go anywhere plot wise with the rest of the story. Over all I enjoyed it though and would definitely recommend it.

Nice book

The plot twist with the mom was unnecessary. Overall a nice feel good book read

Great story.

I enjoyed listening to this book about what a family really is. The romance is cute and sweet. There are situations in this book that teens now days have to deal with, which gives the opportunity for YA to relate to. The character development is right on. Of course if life wrapped itself up as well as this book did, we would all live Happily ever after.

Kinda boring and predictable

Interesting take with two POV from step brothers and sister with two different problems... but their love interest stories were not exciting and very predictable....i kept waiting for something interesting to happen but it just never did.

Loved it so much I missed my exit!

Love the story and the narrator! Listened while drive and was so intent that I missed my exit a couple of times! Oops! Look forward to more from this author!
