Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This is a very sweet YA read!  Lots of Ballet and lots of Paris!  This made me want to travel again so badly!  The author does a great job of weaving in that Paris feel throughout the story.  Here we have a coming of age adventure, mixed with a family mystery in the background of this story.  

Mia is a super driven 17 year old who is putting everything on the line to follow her dreams.  She has landed a coveted spot in the Paris Ballet summer internship program and the readers get to follow along in her process of developing her skills (Ballet and romance that is).

The classic YA story of getting distracted by a boy - yep we all did it when we were young.  Unfortunately that boy causes both joy and pain through her program but she learns so much along the way.

I recommend this to my ya lovers, my Paris lovers and my ballet lovers.  Such a cute story!
