“There is drama, stress and anger all wrapped up in a neat bow just waiting to be unleashed.”

 “.. at first, it felt like I was reading a new version of Step Up 2… LOVE… then it merged into a little Glee… then it merged with Center Stage… then in the midst of it all was the Gossip Girl…

It is extremely well written, and the plot is very engaging.  I couldn’t put it down..”
