Genre: YA Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 26, 2014
Description:
When seventeen-year-old Natalya’s dreams of being a ballerina
are killed in a car accident along with her father, she must choose:
shut down—like her mother—or open up to love.
Last year, Natalya was attending the School of Performing Arts in New York City. Last year, she was well on her way to becoming a professional ballerina. Last year, her father was still alive.
But a car crash changed all that—and Natalya can’t stop blaming herself. Now, she goes to a regular high school in New Jersey; lives with her onetime prima ballerina, now alcoholic mother; and has no hope of a dance career.
At her new school, however, sexy soccer player Antonio sees a brighter future for Natalya, or at least a more pleasant present, and his patient charms eventually draw her out of her shell.
But when upsetting secrets come to light and Tonio’s own problems draw her in, Natalya shuts down again, this time turning to alcohol herself.
Can Natalya learn to trust Antonio before she loses him—and destroys herself?

Elodie Nowodazkij was raised in a tiny village
in France, where she could always be found a book in hand. At nineteen,
she moved to the US, where she learned she'd never lose her French
accent. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Modern Language &
Linguistics, and later earned master's degrees in German Cultural
Studies and European Studies. Unbeknownst to her professors, she
sometimes drafted stories in class. Now she lives in Germany with her
husband and their cat (who doesn't seem to realize he's not human), and
uses her commuting time to write the stories swirling in her head. She's
also a serial smiley user.
