This book is full of heart. After the halfway point, I couldn't put it down. There were a few plot threads that were introduced and then never really resolved, though:
Grace being outed and the drug abuse in the dance industry come to mind.
With the central romance in the book, by the end, I found myself wondering,
"Why can't they wait a few weeks/months after Ryan's dance lessons end to date? He wouldn't be a student anymore and he'd have time to break up with Fiona." But I guess they really wanted to bone.
