Band Geeked Out
by
Josie Bloss (Goodreads Author)
College Application Name: Ellie Snow Age: 18 Intended Major: Why do you want to attend Covington? Well, the truth is I don't really know what I want. My plan was to attend State, close to my family, friends, and (slightly clingy) boyfriend and become a high school band director like I always dreamed. But when I visited your campus, I liked everything about it--especially A...more

This is the sequel to Band Geek Love, which I read over a year ago for the title alone. I don't remember a ton of details about that book, other than what I wrote in my review of it, but this follow-up was much more enjoyable. Ellie, still a trumpet-playing, trumpeter-dating band geek, is torn between two colleges, one that's close to home and has a marching band and the other an all-girls liberal arts college a day's drive away.

As most of my friends are on unemployment, underemployed, or “freelancing”, during most worldly encounters, including reading, I have begun to take notice to the ways in which folks make money in the world. Now, reading a piece of young adult fiction is less about the contours of a remarkable story, and more about the audacity of its author. Before reading the book’s description and accollades on the back cover or inside jacket, I first go to the author’s bio and study her photograph. Vanity ...more
Remember my rant about the Conner and Ellie duo? It’s back with a whole new fire. Okay so the last book the relationship was not all too good but it had its moments that made me smile. In the sequel, however, all I could do was cringe and shake my head. It was a rollercoaster of bad decisions, awkward conversations, and an abrupt breakup that later defended…somewhat.

I liked the first book, Band Geek Love. It was cute and I liked that it related to band. But, after reading the sequel, I felt it was completely unnecessary, as Ellie's character became SO annoying. The book gave off a weird vibe and seemed really unrealistic. The second book had NOTHING to do with band, other than the fact that Ellie was choosing between a college with a band and a college without one. In all fairness, I did read the book rather quickly because it kept my attention, but I didn'...more
I'm not sure why I read book two since I didn't love book one. This book made me feel uncomfortable (although the main character made the right choices in the end), and I should have stopped after the first book.
Okay book--I finished it, but not good enough to get me to read the rest of the series, and not good enough to get me to hold on to it and loan it to others.
So...this book definitely wasn't what I expected. The "Out" in the title should have been a clue. :| Still, I read the whole thing in one evening.
I'll be honest. I didn't finish this, because I got mad at it. I have nothing to say.
An interesting romp through the world of a trumpet-playing teen trying to decide what role band should play in her future.
Still not a fan of Ellie or Connor but this one was slightly better.
