 Thanks to Delacorte and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this to review! Not only is the cover of this debut absolutely adorable, but it matches the story inside. For anyone looking for cute romances to read over the summer/spring break, I definitely recommend this one!

Like many teen romances, it’s not difficult to guess the plot of this one. What makes it great is the characters and the setting. And the ballet! While I never was really going to go into dancing professionally, I did take dance classes up until high school. I loved seeing Mia work so hard at something, and her hard work definitely pays off. 

The romance between Mia and Louis is also perfectly heart-melty. Part of it is owed to the fact that they are in the city of love and get to go on cute dates. However, they also just have great chemistry on the page, right from the beginning. Those looking for an escapist romance to put them in a good mood will definitely find it in this book.

Fans of Love and Gelato, Again, But Better, and Just One Day will absolutely love Jouhanneau’s debut.
