Review by Kirkus Book Review

A teen musician is at a crossroads, both musically and romantically. In this third series installment, 14-year-old Bina's band, Fancy Pink, gets a break: After a disastrous show opening for hit band Anne Surly, they hit upon a stroke of luck when one of their songs is picked up by a streaming show. Now the band has an offer of a record deal on the table, but Bina's parents say no. Determined to make an album, Bina and her band mates decide to finance it themselves, but this involves lying to their parents. Bina's band issues aren't her only worry. A few fizzled dates with Anne Surly singer Cooper cause her to realize that maybe she finally reciprocates the feelings of her on-again, off-again BFF, Austin. Will Bina be able to get her record made and tell Austin how she feels? Larson's comic charms with its two-tone pink panels and sweetly wrought tale. Although she occasionally stumbles, Bina's journey of self-discovery is captivating, as she takes time to think and work things through and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Bina and Austin's friendship has had its ups and downs, and those who have followed this series will relish seeing resolution in the will-they, won't-they leading up to this volume. Bina is biracial, with a dark-skinned mom and White-presenting dad; the supporting cast is racially diverse (conveyed largely through illustrations), with queer members. Like a catchy song, this hits all the right notes. (Graphic fiction. 8-12) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
