I finished this several days ago and had to take a few days to sit with the ending.
I loved the story- it was overall adorable as ever. I loved the mixture of ballet, romance, and a genealogical mystery. I thought it worked well and set up such a sweet story. It was a quick and pleasant read for the most part!
The ending is what left me frustrated. Without spoiling too much, it just felt like too much unnecessary drama/trauma/etc onto Mia because the author wasn’t sure how to write the ending they wanted without making it seem like Mia was choosing a boy. That was my biggest issue, other than that I really really enjoyed this and thought it was adorable.
