Review:
While reading I also thought about Bring It On: All or Nothing and Step Up 2. At times I was screaming at and wanted to throw my iPad because of what was happening in the story. I cannot wait for the next book to be released. If you enjoy reading about teenagers and their drama then you will love this book. As soon as I started reading I didn’t want to put it down. I felt so sorry for what some of the characters went or were going through. I wanted to hit a few of the characters over the head for their actions. I wanted to cry when I finished the book because I wanted to keep reading. I cannot wait for the next book to be released. If this book ever becomes a movie or TV series I will so be watching it.
Synopsis:
Does passion and desire guarantee success? Can friends really be trusted? Can true love be found beneath lust and deceit?
These are questions street dancer Elena Martinez faces as she struggles to compete against the most talented students at New York’s top Performing Arts High School. Along with her best friend, the cheeky and mischievous Sebastien Duval, they are determined to make center stage.
But the singing diva Letitia has other plans. Beautiful, talented and popular, her desire for revenge could ruin everything for Elena and Sebastien. Now, they must fight against prejudice, treachery and deceit as Letitia sets out to destroy Elena’s friendships, her romance, her dignity and her dreams. Can Elena win the battle for true love, happiness and success?
“The perfect package – FAME meets GOSSIP GIRL wrapped up with a touch of GLEE”
“A compulsive tale of auditions, performances, friendship, first love and life’s lessons not yet learned . . . both uplifting and tragic – completely captivating.”
“Entertaining, engaging drama that covers it all – determination, disappointment, success, love, lust, betrayal, heartbreak and forgiveness”
