I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my unbiased review. 
 Leaving Amarillo is the name of Dixie Lark, Dallas Lark, and Gavin Garrison's band. The three have been best friends ever since Dixie and Dallas had to move in with their grandparents after their parents died. Leaving Amarillo has gotten a shot in the Austin MusicFest, where they hope to get noticed and eventually sign with a record label. However, Dixie has always been in love with Gavin, who promised Dallas he would never lay a hand on her, and she doesn't know if she can control herself enough to focus on the music instead of Gavin. 
 Casey Quinn definitely has a talent for words. The romance scenes were too over-the-top for me; they felt like someone was transcribing what they saw on a porn video rather than anything grounded in reality, but if you are looking for some escapism in that area, you might enjoy it. I did like the parts about the band and would be curious to see how they turn out.
