Great book. Buy from a different seller..

This book is great. Fabulous. The copy I received had me on edge. Page 138 in the first few hours. Could not put it down. Then it repeated itself. I then realized my copy was missing 50 pages in the middle. The page numbers were are follows: 1-138, 91-138, 187-326. I am missing 50 pages of a book I could not put down. . . .

disappointed

I had seen this book on shelves everywhere and both the cover and title drew me in along with the summary. But I just couldn't enjoy it. None of the characters were very relatable or enjoyable, it felt like the story was spoon-feeding me a "hey this is ___ and this is their biggest dilemma in life" which was either wanting to be a dancer or something about track, I honestly do not remember. The POVs switched so often at the worst times so it made me stop caring for a character whenever it switched.

I appreciate that the author did research as I read on her website so I did bump up my rating but damn I was just not into this. I wanted to be, sorry.

Do not recommend

I didn’t like the writing style and I felt as if the pace of the book was going so slow. It got boring pretty fast.

Missing 50 Pages

The book is missing 50 pages right in the middle of it. Decent story, but don’t waste your money from this seller to get cheated out of half the story. To fill the space it has duplicate chapters in its place.
