Review
Longtime best friends Olivia and Zoe are about to begin their junior year of high school and are adjusting to life after being told by their NYC ballet company that there is no longer room for them. All their dreams and plans for the future must be changed. Olivia is now teaching ballet at a community center while Zoe is still pretty lost when Olivia is diagnosed with leukemia. Olivia has always been the positive one, but now Zoe is called upon to be supportive and positive. This is well written about a very difficult time that includes normal teenage issues such as Zoe beginning to like the boy that Olivia had a crush on, lies to spare her feelings, and well articulates the emotions and feelings around the leukemia. Zoe must deal with Olivia's mother, dreams must be thought about, navigating school without her best friend at her side, and dealing with the cheerleaders who use Olivia as a cause. Well done.
Overall Book Score: very good
