When Kathy contacted me about reviewing her book, I asked her how much sex was in the book...let's just say I have been surprised a lot lately.  She said there was 1 scene so I said I would be happy to read and review the book.  I'm not a prude, I'm all for some spicy scenes, but I am trying to keep the blog as clean as possible.  Anyway, this book reminded me of the TV show Fame....high school age students at a dramatic and performing arts school.  The students had a wide variety of personalities, talents and personal histories.  It made for an eclectic group of students.  And of course there always has to be the "mean" girl....trust me you won't like Letitia!  It was interesting to see how thin the students seemed to stretch themselves in what they participated in during the school year....plays, musicals, dance classes, show choir...the list goes on and on.Elena, one of the main characters, has a lot going against her from her background to being the subject of ridicule and bullying by Letitia.  She does persevere but without letting her insecurities get the better of her.  I also felt a wide range of emotions from her in the different situations she was placed.We really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read book two, Bitter Sweet and give the book 4 1/2 paws.Originally reviewed for StoreyBookReviews.com and a copy of the book was provided to me in exchange for an honest review
