Publisher Description
When a career-ending injury and a messy breakup send prima ballerina Daniela Verdi back to Queens, New York, she fills her days with countless distractions: meaningless sex, pinot grigio, and video games.
It takes a chance meeting with her brother's best friend, Vincent LaBate, for her to remember who she was before the stage lights and distractions of the Upper West Side. She's convinced that Vincent could never love a girl like her: broken, insecure, and stumbling her way through life. What Daniela didn't count on is that Vincent is as scarred as she is after divorcing his cheating wife and going through an equally messy child custody fight. Soon enough, old vulnerabilities rear their ugly heads, opening a crack in Daniela's perfectly imperfect romance.
As Daniela and Vincent's relationship develops, will Daniela learn to accept that a dream life isn't all it's cracked up to be?

En Pointe
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. As someone who took 10 years of ballet I found myself back in that world of practice, never perfection and the feeling of flying through the air.
So much is understated in the love story. It really spoke the truth about relationships and never giving up or about learning to let go. Spiced up with some love and my favorite character Regi, this was a perfect Sunday afternoon indulgence.
