Maggie Dallen

Collette would kill to be the kind of dancer her mom wants her to be, but it's just not in the cards. She's sick of dieting. She'll never fit into the perfect ballerina mold and she's tired of wishing that she could. She's over it and done trying. She's perfectly content to dance alone in the dark while the rest of the school is sleeping. Meanwhile, Ethan's coach says his football team needs discipline, and that practicing ballet is how they'll learn their lesson. Only problem is that Ethan doesn't have time for ballet. He's too busy trying to be the star quarterback, the dutiful son, and the perfect student, all so he can achieve his father's dream. When he meets Collette, Ethan can't help but take notice. She's a vision of grace and beauty all wrapped up in snark and sass. And she helps him see that his own dreams aren't so stupid after all. He just wishes she could see that in herself"--Adapted from cover, page 4.
