I found this book in a really awesome new bookstore I found by my house and got it because it looked like something my friend would tell me to read.  As it turns out, it was her favorite book.  It is about a professional dancer in New York City.  I’m not a dancer, at all, so I didn’t understand all the dance terms the author used, but I loved this book.  It was inspiring in an unusual way.  I can’t say how it was inspiring because it would give the story away, so you’ll just have to read it to see.

Hannah started at the Manhattan Ballet Company when she was fourteen years old.  She picked up her life and moved to New York by herself to dance.  That is dedication right there.  One night after a performance she strangely decides to get something the eat at her cousins restaurant, where she meets Jacob.  A pedestrian as the dancers call them, meaning a non-dancer.  Hannah immediately feels a connection to Jacob but knows she cannot do anything about it because on her time off she sleeps or goes to extra studio classes, or goes to yoga classes, or goes to the gym.  Basically she eats, sleeps, and breathes dance.  Until she meets Jacob and her convinces her to live a little outside of the theater.  Like I said, I can’t say anything else without giving away the ending, so go read it!  It’s a fantastic book.
