I enjoyed reading this book so much. Just like the author and Chloe, I too have a love for dance. Before becoming a novelist, I was a playwright constructing dance stories. Chloe and Elijah definitely captured my heart, yet it was hard for me to finish the book knowing they will always live in my heart. This book has made its way unto my Recommended Reading List and Recommended Book Club.

miaelisabet This looks like a great read! I also have a love for dance and will give this book a go! 3y

Chloe only wants to drive to D.C. to audition for a dance conservatory—except her annoying neighbor (and ex-friend) Eli convinces her to let him hitch a ride and their road trip quickly takes some unplanned turns. It‘s a cute story about love, forgiveness, and the future, and I enjoyed it. #bookspinbingo #readblackauthors

I was looking for a light summer read and this hit the spot.

Chloe Pierce loves dancing ballet and her only dream is dance at her dream conservatory but her mother won‘t allow it. So while her mom is away she decides to audition anyways. In comes the smelly dog Geezer and his owner Eli and a road trip.

Such a quick cute and light read. I really loved Chloe as a character and wish we could have gotten more.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I got new glasses!

I‘m a contact wearer but I wanted to get glasses I could wear more often and feel good in. So I decided to try Warby Parker. First day wearing them but so far I love them.

I just noticed that I have a peculiar habit when it comes to reading. When I realized that I'm about to really like a book, I stop reading it. Like with I Wanna Be Where You Are by Kristina Forest, I set it aside for over a week. It's like I just don't want it to be over and get to the last page so I avoid it by not reading at all.

I just might fall in love with YA Contemporary.

Reggie Awww me too when I know I could finish a book in one day but I‘m not mad when I don‘t see it for a couple of days, because it means it‘ll still be around. 😊 5y
bookandcat I do the same thing sometimes. I also have had some books where I would stop and restart then and then go one extra chapter because I didn't want it to end. One day I finished it and was like...oh...I can just reread the whole thing 😂 5y
MoniqueReads305 @bookandcat I wish I was a rereader but I have to wait until story details fades from my memory before I can reread. 5y
MoniqueReads305 @Reggie Exactly. I love a book that I can binge read but I always try to savior the really good ones and extend then for days. 5y

This is a good book. I see a lot of parents trying to make future decisions for their high schoolers. Not allowing them to pursue their passion is heartbreaking in my opinion. This book was good and dealt with that type of situation. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.

I don't know what I was expecting when I picked this up from my library. All I know is that it had a cute cover and it was on my Goodreads To Read shelf. Let just say that I'm pleasantly surprised by this cute YA Contemporary.

Mehso-so

For #rippedbodicebingo will help with the road trip square and/or the prom square. Eli and Chloe are technically across the street neighbors not next door, so depends how you feel about that. Light YA romance about childhood friends who fell out and then road trip and rediscover each other.

TaraTLK Oh, show business too. 5y
