heather's life crashed down just after she was promoted to became the principal dancer in new york because her shitty and misogynistic fiancé cheated on her. the unfair part? he's not the one who got kicked out of nyb, heather is. the good part? once she finally got a new position in australia, she met marcus... by accident in the men locker room, not very cute. but he is. he is the dreamy guy type. and then the worst part came, pas de don't, the company rule where dancers are not allowed to date each other. but well, some rules aren't meant to be followed, right?

what a unique story! ballet romance is new to me and i'm amazed at how the author takes us into the world of real world of ballet with all its unflattering side especially inequities in treating women. the ending of the book is just what i needed, it's perfect and heather is a certified queen both in ballet and in general. the characters interact so naturally with one another and very supportive, i'm talking about you, carly!! she's the best friend everyone wants and her support for heather is what we all need in life.

loving the forbidden romance trope but it's unfortunate that this is written in third person pov, i would love to know what's on heather and marcus' minds! especially during the camping with koala bear scene and all the sneaky scenes.
