She doesn’t care when playing makes her sweaty and messes up her hair. But I try to look at Ramona as little as I can.

Today I’m happy to tell you about Laura Nowlin’s latest book This Song is Not for You, on sale today from Sourcebooks Fire. How can she be true to her feelings without breaking up the band? But she hasn’t fallen out of love with Sam either. Except Ramona’s falling in love with Tom. Tom makes music too, and he’s the band’s missing piece. Still, they complement each other perfectly, both as best friends and as a band. Sam loves Ramona, but he would never expect her to feel the same way-she’s too quirky and cool for someone like him. He’s one of the few constants in her life, and their friendship is just too important to risk for a kiss. Ramona fell for Sam the moment she met him.
