The Trouble with Destiny by Lauren Morrill

*** 'All aboard for hijinks, crushes, and a sweet story of banding together.'-Emery Lord, author of Open Road Summer 'I adored this fun and heartfelt book. Liza likes to think of herself as an expert at almost everything, but when it comes to love, she's about to find herself lost at sea.

After the Destiny breaks down, all of Liza's best-laid plans start to go awry.

When Liza discovered that her beloved band was losing funding, she found Destiny, a luxury cruise ship complete with pools, midnight chocolate buffets, and a 25,000 spring break talent show prize. And she's especially not interested in Russ, the probably-as-dumb-as-he-is-cute prankster jock whose ex, Demi, happens be Liza's ex-best friend and leader of the Athenas, a show choir that's the band's greatest competition. With her trusty baton and six insanely organized clipboards, drum major Liza Sanders is about to take Destiny by storm-the boat, that is. She's therefore not interested when her old camp crush, Lenny, shows up on board, looking shockingly hipster-hot. She grew up in Maryville, Tennessee, where she was a short-term Girl Scout, a (not-so) proud member of the marching band, and a troublemaking editor for the school newspaper. Liza can't imagine senior year without the band, and nothing will distract her from achieving victory.
