The Italian Ballerina by Kristy Cambron

2.0

I really wanted to like this one! The concept was interesting, but where I found this book lacking was in the depth of characters — I really didn't connect with any of them as distinct people but rather only as vehicles for the plot (Courtney seemed to be the only exception for me) and felt that the romantic pairings felt forced.

I personally felt like there was a hint of a theme about chosen family and community, but it felt like it was scratching the tip — to be honest, I was almost disappointed that Court turned out to be the father of Penn's son — it felt like a missed opportunity to parallel the relationship he had with Calla.

Overall, while this book was not for me, I could see plenty of reasons why people would be enchanted with this book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
