Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.As a kid, I loved ballet and ballerinas. That is one of the reasons I requested this book. I think it is cool that it is written by a ballerina and I liked the setting. I did not like this book as well as I thought I might though. Lauren and her friends learn more about life as well as about dance. I am sure middle school kids will connect with this book. I probably did not connect with it as much as I would if I read it when I was in middle school.
I wanted to like this more than I did. I love the pacific northwest setting. Love that it's written by a ballerina and has the authentic feeling of struggle and passion. I think it's just that I didn't like Lauren very much, so it was hard for me to really engage. That doesn't seem fair, really. She's a tween, she's got feels and a lot of hard things going on in the background and so do her friends. I suspect the intended audience will get a lot out of this.

Was enjoyable, but I'm not in the target audience, so all I can say is I think it was a good book.
