This book was heartbreaking.

I can’t remember a time when I was left speechless and out of words for so long.

We always say a good book is one that makes you feel, and this one definitely did that for me. The writing was everything. I actually learned so much about ballet, and it was both informative and entertaining. I loved Juliette and Katarina from the very beginning. They were like light and dark, yet both were so easy to love. Even the side characters were wonderful: Francesca with her intensity, Gabriel with his loyalty, and Helena with her constant support.

I felt so much for Juliette. Her struggles were relatable, and when her life fell apart, it shattered my heart too. What happened with Gabriel broke me. By the end of that chapter, I had no tears left. The ending was sweet, and I liked how things turned out, though I wish we’d gotten more time with Juliette and Katarina together to really enjoy their HEA.

Overall, this book is a masterpiece. If you’re looking for an emotional journey, lovable characters, and amazing writing, this is the book for you.
