Everyone else in the tiny town of Enfield, Texas calls fall football season, but for the forty-three members of the Fighting Enfield Marching Band, it’s contest season. And for new saxophonist Anna James, it’s her first chance to prove herself as the great musician she’s trying hard to be.
When she’s assigned a duet with mellophone player Weston Ryan, the boy her small-minded town thinks of as nothing but trouble, she’s equal parts thrilled and intimidated. But as he helps her with the duet, and she sees the smile he seems to save just for her, she can’t help but feel like she’s helping him with something too.
After her strict parents find out she’s been secretly seeing him and keep them apart, together they learn what it truly means to fight for something they love. With the marching contest nearing, and the two falling hard for one another, the unthinkable happens, and Anna is left grappling for a way forward without Weston.
A heartbreaking novel about finding your first love and what happens when it's over too soon. Ashley Schumacher’s Full Flight is about how first love shapes us—even after it’s gone.

Christy's Review:
Full Flight by Ashley SchumacherMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was wonderful and terrible all at the same time. Wonderful because I loved the characters, the writing, and so much of the story. Terrible… because I spent the whole last 20% sobbing in my pillow. I love emotional books but this was a little much for me.
Anna James need help with a duet in marching band. She started late and is behind those band members that have been doing it forever. Weston Ryan is the guy to help her. Weston and Anna come from a small town and Weston doesn’t quite fit in. But he fits with Anna. They become friends and so much more. They relate to each other and I loved them together.
Anna’s parents are a bit strict and don’t want her dating anyone, especially someone like Weston, but they come around. I loved watching these two fall in love. Reading about first loves are just so dang beautiful. I truly loved Weston, Anna, as well as their friends Ratio and Andy. This could have been such a sweet YA romance, but then it wouldn’t have been an Ashley Schumacher story, would it?
This author always seems to bring the feels. This one was so emotional. It tackles grief and loss and you’re going to need some Kleenex for this one. I would recommend this one, but be prepared for all the feels.
