I really liked the direction this book took. With some of the previous books I had the feeling the plot got a little bit formulaic at times, but this book breaks that and I am really curious how this series will continue and take this change further. And don't let the blurb mislead you, it sounds like things continue like the previous books, but it definitely surprised me.
This month Mia is to star in a music video with hip-hop artist Anton. They have to dance together with some back-up dancers and guess what Mia doesn't know how to dace. I was wondering how they were going to spun this story and I was pleasantly surprised. We see how Mia struggles with what happened in the previous month and I liked how this book build upon that and showed the reader she didn't get over it as easily as you might have thought.
This series is first and foremost about Mia her journey and this book is an important step in her journey. She makes a decision, which felt very important and I wonder how this will impact the rest of the books. I thought it was realistic to see Mia struggle with what happened last month and eventually try and give it a place. And I felt like I understood her decision a bit more. I also liked how this one tied in with the previous book(s).
Mia meets a few new friends in this book one, but while I thought they had an interesting story, the music video at the same time fell a bit to the background to focus on Mia her story and development. At times I think the novella length might be a tad too short for all the story the author tries to put in it. At times it felt a tad too rushed or like there could be a couple more scenes to get to know her new friends more. I liked the set-up for the next book and am curious how that will play out.
To summarize: I enjoyed this latest installment in this series and I like the direction this book takes. It feels like this book is a pivotal point in this series and it's breaking the more formulaic mold some of the previous books had. Definitely curious to see how the series will continue now. It just missed that tiny bit to bump it up to a 4 star rating for me. I liked seeing Mia her journey continue, her making new friends in this book and the important decision she makes in this one. It also felt realistic to see Mia struggle with something that happened in the previous book and I understood her decision she made there a bit more. All in all a very interesting book in this series and I am curious to see what will happen next and how the events here will impact things.

This is becoming more and more the story of Mia and Wes. While I like that story- does it need 12 books to be told? The sidelong stories are fun, but are they worth a full book?
In this book I did have issues with Mia dealing with her traumatic event. Not that she was having trouble, but that it magically disappeared at the sight of Wes. No discussion. No blips. Nothing!

This was sweet. I really liked Anton and I was happy Mia was able to get through her trauma. Oh Wes... what's going to happen with them through the remainder of the year? So many questions....on to the next. 4 stars

Where the last one left me a bit of a wreck this one left me so much happier. I love watching the character of Mia grow and change throughout the months! I can't wait to see what the last few months will bring for this story line I am fully invested !!!

I'm glad that Wes and Mia got together. I'm also glad that she got over her fears.
