Not with the Band

About This Audiobook

Kelli Warner delivers a snappy, romantic YA drama that’s less *Mean Girls* and more *Friday Night Lights*—if the locker room had better Wi-Fi. Kassidy Perry is a walking list of rules: avoid drama, dodge jerks, and never get attached to a new school. But when her mom marries the football coach from the rival high school, Kassidy’s uprooted *again*, this time to a town where the rivalry isn’t just on the field—it’s in the hallways, the bleachers, and, unfortunately, her heart. Warner’s sharp dialogue crackles with wit, and the small-town stakes feel real, not staged. The romance isn’t just a slow burn; it’s a slow-motion collision, with Kassidy caught between two guys who couldn’t be more different—one is the golden boy of the football team, the other a quiet outsider with a chip on his shoulder. The audiobook’s dual narration by Melissa Moran and Aaron Shedlock elevates the story further, with Moran nailing Kassidy’s sarcastic charm and Shedlock’s nuanced delivery grounding the emotional gut-punches. This isn’t your typical high school love triangle; it’s a story about loyalty, rivalry, and the messy business of growing up in a town that’s as divided as its football teams.
