Mia has only ever dreamed of becoming a professional ballerina, so she leaps at the chance to attend an elite summer ballet program in Paris. She can’t wait to eat-breathe-sleep ballet and finally prove her worth to the program director of the American Ballet Theatre, on the recommendation of her ballet teachers in Paris, if she does well. Only, there is a cute French boy that is pretty distracting and it is Paris in the summertime after all. Can Mia get the part and get the guy? 

This is a love letter to Paris if I’ve ever read one. It’s cute, and fluffy, and just so FRENCH. Perfect for the francophile in your life. There isn’t much in terms of depth, but for the students who have an Eiffel Tower print hanging on their wall or who watch Audrey Hepburn movies for fun would probably love reading this book.
