About this ebook

As sweet as a macaron from Laduree, this romantic novel set in Paris about an American ballerina and a charming French boy is parfait! And don't miss Anne-Sophie's swoony FRENCH KISSING IN NEW YORK!

Mia Jenrow has always known she's destined to be a professional ballerina. In fact, it’s in her blood—according to family legend, her too-many-greats-to-count-grandmother once danced for the Paris Opera and was painted by Degas himself! Her parents say it’s just a fantasy, but to Mia it’s so much more than that. It’s her fate.

Mia is planning to spend a magical summer in France pursuing her dream, but as she pirou-ettes into Paris, she soon realizes it may be a bit more complicated than she hoped. For starters, there’s her rival, Audrey, who will stop at nothing to show her up. There’s her ballet instructor, whose impossibly high standards push her to the breaking point. And then . . . there’s Louis. Devastatingly, distractingly charming Louis. He’s eager to show Mia his city—and Mia is more than happy to hop on his Vespa and wrap her arms around him as they pass the gleaming lights of the Eiffel Tower.

Mia’s summer was supposed to be about ballet—but there’s a reason Paris is called the City of Love. . . .

    Is this book Center Stage in Paris? Yes! It was fun, funny, romantic, poignant, and captivating. The author had me flashing back to ballet classes with teachers banging the beat with a walking stick and sharp corrections. With a high stakes audition, a family mystery, an unexpected love interest and an even more unexpected friendship, I was rooting for Mia to get all her dreams realized.

    This is a swoony and smart read about Mia, a 17-year-old ballet dancer who attends a prestigious summer program in Paris. Her goal is to get the attention of ballet companies in a showcase performance, but she’s distracted by a handsome French boy and a search for her family history among Degas paintings. I loved how this story was a love letter to Paris, ballet, first love, passions, and friendship. Highly recommended!

    This is an ARC I received from Netgalley. It was a little boring for me. I found it difficult to pick up to read and finish. Things were just too perfect for too long then out of nowhere something finally happens near the end. I felt like it was just thrown in there because she realized there was no real conflict in the story. Louis wasn't very believable as a love interest. I just didn't feel their chemistry. My favorite character was actually Audrey. I feel like she has a way better story to tell than Mia. Even the mystery with Mia's ancestors was a little flat. The instructor was repeatedly referred to as a strict and mean instructor but all interactions with him were completely the opposite. Mia would SAY he was mean to them but it was never really there. Even when he was reprimanding her for going out late he was still pretty nice and understanding with her. It was overall ok, I'd recommend it to readers who enjoy a good ballerina story.
