Customer Reviews

I love this whole book, couldn't put it down

I'm not really one that is into ballet or any dance, but once i read this i couldn't put it down. not just because of the dancing, but because of the romance between Sophy and Carlos, and the other characters. i've already finished the second one. can't wait to finish it. but i think when i am done reading all of it i will kinda miss reading about the characters and see what else could happen...

The romance is as good as the dancing!

I just read this book and I can't wait to read the next one in the series. The dance schools merging is a great plot, because it throws all these different people together. What I really like is everyone in the book has faults--for all their likeable qualities, there's some way that they mess up or aren't perfect. In other words, it's all about real people, like my friends. I like the stuff with Sophy's family--but the dance sections are even better!

A wonderful book, it's a real page turner.

I love this book. I couldn't put it down. I was dying to know what happened next. Carlos and Sophy are two of the most intriguing characters I have ever encountered in a young adult novel. They actually have depth and souls. I cared about their problems and about them. I love all the dangling plot threads that will keep me moving through the other books just as quickly. I can't wait to see how everything turns out.

I love CARLOS! and Sophy!

I love this book. I'm a dancer,too, and I'd love to go to a school like dance tech. Do they also go a regular school and have classes? It would be cool if they just had regular classes for everything at dance tech so they would have more time to dance (I wish I went to a schhol like that!) I am wating for the next book to come in to my bookstore, can't wait to see SOphy and Carlos hook up I hope they do!

perfect dance and romance book for ya girls (and guys)

what a great idea for a ya book (this is the first of a series), combining the worlds of ballet and salsa, with all the issues teens struggle with --friendship, love, self-regard. Rees has the gift of creating an entirely believable world and characters. Her hero and heroine are terrific--the smolderingly sexy salsa king Carlos and the lovely ballerina Sophie and then making their very different worlds collide. Rees has the wonderful gift of reaching into the hearts of her characters, making their feelings come so honestly alive. In their real lives, all the kids who make up dance tech live at dizzying pace--making mistakes and picking up their lives, breaking up and finding new partners. But the author in creating this world of kids we care about never loses her balance. With the same poise, she balances all the steamy emotions with a real knowledge of the world of dance to book. Readers will adore this book. I know I would have at that age.
