Bunheads by Sophie Flack
Published on 1st March 2012 by Atom
As a dancer with the Manhattan Ballet Company, nineteen-year-old Hannah Ward is living her childhood dream. She gets to be up on stage in front of adoring crowds every night. And while she might not be a prima ballerina yet, she's moving up the ranks and surely if she works hard enough she can make it happen.
But devoting her whole life to ballet leaves very little time for anything else: friends, family, school have all fallen by the wayside. Hannah doesn't mind, until a chance encounter in a restaurant brings Jacob into her life. He's cute, he plays guitar and he's offering a whole future that Hannah never considered. And now she must choose between her lifelong dream or what could be the love of her life...

I am obsessed with books that are set in the ballet world so when I first heard about this title I knew I wanted to read it. I've heard quite a lot of buzz about 'Bunheads' already so I'm counting down the days until it's released.
great pick!
