This is a totally delightful book and one of my favorites. The characters are funny and likeable and very real, especially the main character, Rachel, a high school student who loves classical music and has interesting, intellectual, artistic parents in a small Midwestern town where most people aren't interested in (or don't know about) such things. Sandy Bottom Orchestra is a splendid book to read in the summer, but even during other times of year it will make you feel like it's summer again. If you like classical music, you especially need to read this book, since it's just full of it and will make you want to sing or play or whatever you do. The happy ending always leaves me feeling like I've just found out my crush likes me too.
