Wow. Just wow.
So. Many. Feels.

This was book was everything I needed. It was emotional and powerful and I loved all the characters to pieces. Ella was just the perfect combination of frustrating and relatable. We all have things we're afraid of, we all have things that define us and make us see the world a little different. I could relate to Ella on so many levels. Just overcoming her fear of getting lost and actually hailing a cab and going somewhere by herself is something I completely understand. I loved seeing her grow as an individual throughout this book and making the tough choices to be happy on her own and to be happy with herself first. It's such an important lesson I think everyone should learn. Yes, me included.
And Cole. Oh, Cole. He was just the perfect combination of broken and swoonworthy. His realizations in the story, his journey to becoming the right kind of a man, a man who realizes he needs love in his life, was beautiful. I loved his sweet heart and caring nature, especially with Nina and Mal. But also his strength and protectiveness when it came to Ella.
I think Melissa did an amazing job with this book and it's one I will be coming back to in the future. There is just something so special about this story, woven with love for music and dance, that really touched my heart. I read it in one seating because I simply couldn't stay away.
