i wanna be where you are by kristina forest

Chloe decides to sneak away during Spring Break while her mom goes on a cruise with her boyfriend and ends up being blackmailed by her infuriating neighbor to take him with her. Parents often think they know what's best, even when it goes against everything their child wants, and that was what Chloe was dealing with. I really felt for Chloe and how strict her mom was, especially when it came to Chloe's future. When the chance to audition pops up, Chloe is absolutely devastated when her mom says no.

It's been Chloe's dream to move to New York and work at the conservatory founded by her favorite male ballerina. I don't read a lot of YA these days, but this one was a road trip romance and hate to love, so I was super excited to pick this up.

Picked up this book to read a few pages and accidentally almost finished it Unlike my ballet classes, which were unending and emotionally scarring.īottom line: I have approximately eighty times more to say about my experience with community dance than I do about this book.Īnyone want to take a road trip down the east coast with me and fall in love and achieve our dreams along the way? This was a quick read and it was also very forgettable. I don’t know.īut the fact is that this book is largely about a girl trying to achieve her dream of being a ballerina and STILL I was bored. Maybe it is this low-level curse that relegates me to a lifetime of embarrassment that makes me have so much respect for ballerinas.

Sixteen years after those fateful Sunday afternoons at the Community Arts Center, I still have the approximate dance skills of one of those inflatable creatures outside of car dealerships. You don’t know this about me, because to you I am a mere joyless phantom behind a computer screen, writing criticism no one else cares about at great length, but I am extremely clumsy.
