Truly Madly Deeply Freshman YEar
Jennifer Rudy
The year is 1995 and Claire Hanover is entering high school. With her sidekick and longtime best friend, Sam, by her side, Claire feels ready to take on life at A. Thompson High. But Claire soon finds out that bullies of old only increase their anarchy in this new world and the pressures of trying to fit in and be cool are all too hard to escape.
Her one solace? Band class. In the band room not only can she escape the stressors of social norms through the therapeutic act of playing piano, but she has also made a new friend: Adam Miller. A cute drummer from the grade above. Through the sharing of cassette tapes, Adam and Claire form a fast friendship—and a fast crush—over the bond of music. But another new boy also creates a budding friendship with Claire, and with the newfound fun of high school, Claire finds herself torn.
Infused with all the “whatevers” and “as ifs,”Truly Madly Deeply: Freshman Yearis the kickstart to all the nerves and excitement of high school.

3 reasons we think you should read this book:
I was in immediately due to the title and cover, and was pleasantly surprised to see a fun, 90s-themed coming-of-age plot.
As someone who spent her entire high school experience hanging out in the band room, I am very much looking forward to all of the silly and fun references.
I feel like this story will be an interesting look at loving your old life and embracing your new one as you grow.
