Synopsis (from Goodreads):

As sweet as a macaron from Laduree, with writing as crisp as a freshly baked baguette, this romantic novel set in Paris about an American ballerina and a charming French boy is parfait for fans of American Royals and Netflix’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

Seventeen-year-old Mia, an American girl at an elite summer ballet program, has six weeks to achieve her dreams: to snag an audition with one of the world’s best ballet companies. But there’s more to Paris than ballet—especially when a charming French boy, Louis, wants to be her tour guide—and the pair discover the city has a few mysteries up its sleeve.

In the vein of romances like Love and Gelato, this is the perfect summer adventure for anyone looking to get swept away in the City of Love.

My Review:

Thank you Penguin Teen Canada and Netgalley for the copy of this book.

Read if you like: Anna and the French Kiss.

I loved many aspects of this book. Mia goes to France for a Summer ballet program as well as to learn more about her French ancestor’s, but she didn’t expect to experience some summer romance in Paris. I loved Mia as a character. She was passionate about her dream to become a professional ballerina, but she was also passionate in other ways and I loved how caring she was.

I also loved the description of ballet in the book. As someone who did ballet when I was younger, it felt great to become absorbed into that world again. And, while the love story didn’t necessarily feel like the main focus of the book, I thought it was super cute!
