The Quarterback and the Ballerina

Dallen Strikes Again - With A Friend. This is my first book Meyer has been a part of, but I'm very familiar with Dallen's work (as my review history shows ;) ), and this reads very much like a solid Dallen HS romance. If any real difference was noted, it was that much of the drama was more internal and less relational (whereas a pure Dallen tale tends to have some internal but mostly relational to some degree). The ending was a bit interesting in that it began to play with the timeline a bit, which provides a nice little tease for the presumptive Book 2 in this series. So when can we get it? ;) Very much recommended.

This book is an excellent start to the new series by Anne-Marie Meyer and Maggie Dallen! It's not only a beautifully written opposites-attract YA romance, but also an inspiring story about living up to (mostly others') expectations and finding your own way in life.
I'll admit, my heart broke for Collette, and it gave me all the feels to see how she worked so hard and finally overcame her fears and insecurities:
“For now, I could have fun. I'd deal with reality when the music stopped.
For now, I'd be a dancer.”

I loved the characters (extra kudos to Ethan's little sister Chrissy), and I'm looking forward to reading more about the ballerinas and the guys on the team. The setup for the (hopefully) next story looks just as promising!
