In Jennifer Echols' website, Going Too Far falls under the label of "romantic drama" while Major Crush falls under "romantic comedy". I would definitely agree with the comedy part because this book made me laugh out loud a couple of times. I haven't read a lot of teen romance books with band members in them and it was interesting to know that there's a lot going on in a school band. In a small town where the school band is a big thing, the most popular guy in school is the drum major (the leader of the band) and not a jock.

Virginia was previously a queen of beauty pageants but she decided to pierce her nose, run around barefoot all the time and pursue her passion for drums. She decided to run for drum major because a girl has never gotten that position. She didn't expect to win or to share the glory with last year's drum major, Drew. Even though Virginia has a huge crush on Drew, she doesn't want to work with him and she knows Drew doesn't want to share the role of drum major either. Forced to play nice with each other, sparks fly and they discover that there's more to the other person than meets the eye.
