About this ebook
Perfection. Beauty. Pain. This is life for Indigo Stevens at the famed New York School of Ballet, where there’s no such thing as weakness or privacy and every movement is scrutinized and judged. Indigo hopes she’ll be chosen for the company, but her ballet teachers aren’t talking and their silence is confusing.
When Indigo is singled out for a coveted solo she feels her dreams are finally within reach, until she discovers she’s dancing with Felipe Gonzalez, the school’s smolderingly hot rising star. In the days that follow, Indigo questions everything she thought was true and finds herself making surprising choices. Can she go for her dreams without losing herself?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this. I had not read the first book in the series, so a bit of information was missing, but this did not distract from the story.I nice read with an insight to life at a ballet school.I think if you are really into ballet this would appeal to you
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I feel as if I have walked in on something. Something that I have blossoming for Indigo young life. Away from home and feeling a little out of place. Her dreams are beginning to unfold. Or could it just be a just the opposite. Things are not all the seem to be when you are standing on the other side. This was the second installment on the life of Indigo. She has dreams and hopes for her life and here was where some of them began to unfold. With life the way it is high school, no matter where it is or the kinds, is still high school. Teenage life falls down around our little Indigo. We get to journey with her as she experience it up close and personal. I found the dept of technical ballet terms to be a bit off putting but they made the read real and believable. I learned new things and visually conceptualized a new world of the arts. I found the storybeautiful to read. There was no real need to be overly familiar with the first book in the series but it would not hurt in any way. There were quick summaries to the information being glazed over from that book. Grier Cooper did a good job bringing the teen high school ballet world to color. **This ARC was provided via Xpresso Book Tours in exchange for an honest review.**
