As sweet as a macaron from Laduree, 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 Emily in Paris. 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. . . .

I read romance for the romance so it???s a bad sign when it takes over an hour (audiobook) for the love interest to show up. Up until then it was just Mia going on about ballet and saying a few things in French. I???m not interested in either of those things so was bored. Obviously not the book for me, also I agree with other reviewers that it skews young.
I really enjoyed this book, it was cute, fun, and a quick read! It's the perfect book to read in the summer time, or whenever you need a summery book to brighten your mood! I haven't read many books about dance, but I definitely want to after this! I love reading books set in different countries, it was really nice to learn some French while reading!
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review
