Synopsis

All it takes is one missed step for your life to change forever

Luca Mason knows exactly who he is and what he wants: In six months, he’s going to be accepted into the Australian Ballet School, leave his fancy private high school, and live his life as a star of the stage—at least that’s the plan until he falls
down a flight of stairs and breaks his foot in a way he can never recover from.With his dancing dreams dead on their feet, Luca loses his performing arts scholarship and transfers to the local public school, leaving behind all his ballet friends and his whole future on stage.

The only bright side is that he strikes up unlikely friendships with the nicest (and nerdiest) girl at his new school, Amina Ahmad, and the gorgeous, popular, and (reportedly) straight school captain, Jordan Tanaka-Jones.

As Luca’s bond with Jordan grows stronger, he starts to wonder: Who is he without ballet? And is he setting himself up for another heartbreak?

Goodreads review by Marieke

Ballet isn’t something l’ve lost. Something I’m missing. It’s me. It’s all of me. And it’s gone. And I’m trying to be happy but I haven’t a f*cking clue who I am anymore and nothing is working out the way it’s supposed to. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a ballet dancer badly. I begged my mo......more
