"Full of humor, whimsy, and heartache, Full Flight explores the many notes of grief and love and the happiness found in the soft moments between. Schumacher's sophomore novel punches you in the feels and I can't wait for her to do it again." - Ashley Poston, New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics and Geekerella
Ashley Schumacher's Full Flight is about how first love shapes us--even after it's gone.
Everyone else in the tiny town of Enfield, Texas, calls fall football season, but for the forty-three members of the Fighting Bearcat Marching Band, it's contest season. And for new saxophonist Anna James, it's her first chance to prove herself as the great musician she's trying hard to be.
When she's assigned a duet with mellophone player Weston Ryan, the boy her small-minded town thinks of as nothing but trouble, she's equal parts thrilled and intimidated. But as he helps her with the duet, and she sees the smile he seems to save just for her, she can't help but feel like she's helping him with something too.
When her strict parents find out she's been secretly seeing him and keep them apart, Anna and Weston learn what it truly means to fight for something they love. With the marching contest nearing and the two falling hard for one another, the unthinkable happens, and Anna is left grappling for a way forward without Weston.

Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the advanced copy for review. All opinions are my own. First of all, this book absolutely wrecked me. It's in the synopsis why, but I failed to read the synopsis prior to diving in since I loved Ashley Schumacher's first book so so much! She still did not disappoint with this book. Full Flight is about Anna and Weston who are both in the marching band. They have to perform a duet in their show so Anna asks Weston to help her. Weston is sort of the town's outcast. He doesn't fall into their town's idea of "normal" so many people, including himself, have their own opinions about who he is, but Anna finds out that their opinions are untrue. This book gave me serious first love feelings. I don't want to compare it to other books who have done the same and broken my heart, but I'm placing it in the same category of those few books. I fell so in love with Anna and Weston and my heart was completely shattered by the events in this book. Please do not let that deter you from reading it because it is well worth the read and the heartbreak.
