Thoughtful, funny, diverse could I ask for more from a book? 
 Noteworthy is the story of Jordan, an asian american bi sexual teen attending a school for the arts, Jordan is strong, sure of herself, and has great morals. She genuinely kind and thinks all of her actions through and how it effects others. 
 When Jordan can't land a part in a production she starts to become disheartened with school and how she's going to make her college applications standout from 1000's of others. When her teacher comments on her singing she starts to think about what this means to her as an artist, unexpectedly she receives an email for a casting call for a new position in The Sharps a cappella group. The Sharps have been around for years, an all male singing group that competes against in school groups. This years prize is a Europe tour with a famous a cappella group and it's the perfect thing for Jordan, the only problem is she's a she. 
 Jordon decides to go, dressed as a guy she auditions and gets the part. 
 Noteworthy is a story of friendship, of moral debate, of family struggle, of dreams, of rejections, of biased school admin, and of sticking together. 
 The thing that really makes this story are The Sharpshooters, 8 people all come together from different walks of lifes not only to sing together but to support each other, muck around, laugh, make mistakes, forgive. The characters are all so well defined and important in each way. We see a lot of back story on them and it's never to much, we so positive female friendships, positive male friendships, positive girl boy friendships basically All the friendships I could have wanted from a book it made my heart sign with happiness. 
 The reason I loved Jordan so much was her thought process, when dresses as a guy she stumbles upon a transgender website that gives her a tip about how to compress her breasts and she feels wrong. She feels guilty of imitating someones real life changes, she feels bad about imitating trans experiences and explains it all in the book. She goes through conflicting feelings and in so discovers who she is and who she wants to be. 
 (view spoiler)[ The ending was real and emotional, the teachers wanting to reject her because she wasn't the right gender and her friends sticking by her even if she lied to be apart of the group. The real relationships formed are more important then a old school rule and they prevail and succeed. I just wanted Jordan to be happy in all aspects of her life and I'm so happy that she almost is. (hide spoiler)] 
 I need more Jordan's in my books, I need more friendship groups like this, I need more thoughtful and caring characters. 
 This book is just all types of Amazing and I urge everyone to pick it up, I know I'll be ordering a hardcover when I can because I will be re-reading this more than once.
