Another book from the author of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl! I didn't know he had written anymore books, but I was happy to have found out that he wrote this one!
Wes and Corey are expert haters. Name any singer or band that's out there and they can find something about it that's awful. So you can understand why they aren't particularly happy to be stuck at "Jazz Giants of Tomorrow" Jazz camp in the middle of nowhere. Jazz camp seems like it's just full of lame guys who are better at their instruments than Corey and Wes.
That is, until they meet Ash.
Ash is undeniably more cynical and more of a hater than any of them, and she's also incredibly charismatic. I'll leave it right there.
I cannot stress enough how funny this book is. Reading it with other people in the area was a challenge because I had to keep from bursting out laughing. The narration is simple and honest and straightforward, very similar to Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. This is a hilarious and enjoyable book and I would say any YA fan would enjoy it.
(Warning: There is some content in this book that is for mature readers only.)
