The ballet aspect caught my attention immediately and I was also drawn in by the lgbtq+ representation, as well as a number of tropes, including grumpy x grumpier and found family!
Very easy to get into the book and love the characters! They are all so real! I enjoyed the entire group and loved the friendships! Liora is awesome! Amita and Chuck are so sweet! Everyone needs a J.J. in their life!
The rival to lovers is really well done!!! I loved Liora and Penelope's dynamic, especially when they finally got together!
I also really appreciated the way the story tackles topics such as pursuing your dream, how it's never too late to do so, the challenges when it comes to a disparity of money in pursuing dreams and even in the health care field, as well as single parenthood, body image, and eating disorders.
This was an amazing novel! I highly recommend!
