A review by heykellyjensen
The Victoria in My Head by Janelle Milanes

When 15-year-old Victoria, a daughter of Cuban immigrants, decides to stray from her well-behaved, straight-laced life and join a band, she keeps it a secret from her parents. But...she can't keep it a secret for too long, since the lies start adding up.

A cute, fun, lighthearted romantic read about music, love, and learning to become your own person, rather than being the person you think you're meant to be. I loved that it's a younger teen protagonist a lot. The book ran a little bit long, but I think teen readers who love Vi will find no problem taking it all in, since it's well-paced and has a touch of humor to it.
