Did I enjoy this book: This book was alright. It didn't blow me away but it kept me reading to see how it would end.I was expecting Elena to be all about dance. I didn't think she was going to be an all-around artist--dance, singing, acting. I would have preferred it if she were just focused on dance. I think the story would have been much better that way. I like to read books that center on the performing arts. It's a world that is fascinating and interesting. I just wish that Elena hadn't been in all of the arts. Dance is her thing and that's what I wanted to read about when I picked up Passion and Pain. I know that a lot of dancers are also singers and actors. It was a bit hard to believe that she was so good at all three.I enjoyed reading about the rehearsals and everything that Elena went through to prepare for her plays and dances. As I said, I find it fascinating and fun to read about it. Dance books are up there with skating books for me. I love to read them. However, I should have written the review as soon as I finished reading Passion and Pain because at this point, a few months later, I don't remember much about it. It was an alright read, but not that memorable.Would I recommend it: I may recommend this book if you like Young Adult and performing arts. This is not a New Adult book but would not be suitable for anyone under the age of 15.Will I read it again: I will not.(I received a copy of this book for review purposes.)
