Kissing the Debutant

Dancing Queen. This was a solid tale of one person knowing how good they might be - and the other not having a clue. Fun but with some solid in-world discussions of class and elitism. As the third in a four part loosely coupled series, it holds it own and can be read in order or standalone. Very much recommended.

"When a world no longer fits us, we have to create our own."

The prima ballerina debutante and the janitor: what an unlikely pair - and yet such a great match! I found it easy to root for Lillian and Jack, not only in their respective endeavours (Lillian's competition and Jack's school project), but also in their budding friendship, creating a world where they both fit in.

What I really enjoy about the series in general and this particular story, as well, is the supporting cast. Not only the other Divas - who make an appearance throughout via chats and, of course, at the competition - but also the various friends and family. I especially adored Jack's BFF Mia, and his family is a hoot (Dad jokes included). :)
