Summary

All it takes is one missed step for your life to change forever.

Luca Mason knows exactly who he is and what he wants: In six months, he’s going to be accepted into the Australian Ballet School, leave his fancy private high school, and live his life as a star of the stage - at least that’s the plan until he falls down a flight of stairs and breaks his foot in a way he can never recover from.

With his dancing dreams dead on their feet, Luca loses his performing arts scholarship and transfers to the local public school, leaving behind all his ballet friends and his whole future on stage.

The only bright side is that he strikes up unlikely friendships with the nicest (and nerdiest) girl at his new school, Amina, and the gorgeous, popular, and (reportedly) straight school captain, Jordan Tanaka-Jones.

As Luca’s bond with Jordan grows stronger, he starts to wonder: Who is he without ballet? And is he setting himself up for another heartbreak?

A Terrific Listen

Well read and a story that's delightfully realistic, it's plotted perfectly.
I am trying to avoid spoilers here. The progression of the story is paced just right, to lose something that is pivotal to a young person is totally believable. Luca's relationships are depicted so believably, his dad is amazing, and I loved his friends.

Also an Aussie book was a total delight.

Thank you Tobias for the book, and Matthew for the narration
