Review

This story is about Bea, a 9th grader that is kind of shy. But when her PE teacher announces there will be a dance competition and the winners get to be on TV, Bea decides to go for it- she loves to dance and what’s even cooler is that her partner is a really cute boy in her school. Unfortunately, the school’s queen bee has a crush on that same boy.

This is a light fun romance. There is some mean girl stuff but lots of humor too. Bea is a fun character that grows through out the novel until she actually learns to stand up for herself. But she isn’t the only fun character. Her little sister Emma almost steals the show at times. She is super funny and does crazy 3-year-old that will make you laugh out loud- especially if you know a 3-year-old. If you like romantic comedies with some great dancing thrown in, you will like this summer beach read.

Overall Book Score: very good
