About this listen
He thought he knew what he wanted. Turns out, all he wanted was her.
Collette
I’d kill to be the kind of dancer my mom wants me to be, but it’s just not in the cards.
I’m sick of dieting. I'll never fit into the perfect ballerina mold, and I’m tired of wishing that I could.
I’m over it. I’m done trying. I’m perfectly content to dance alone in the dark while the rest of the school is sleeping.
Ethan
Coach says our football team needs discipline. That dancing alongside a bunch of prissy prima donnas is how we’ll learn our lesson.
Only problem?
I don’t have time for ballet. Not when I’m busting my butt to be the star quarterback, the dutiful son, and the perfect student - all, so I can achieve my father’s dream.
When I meet Collette, I can’t help but take notice. She’s a vision of grace and beauty all wrapped up in snark and sass. And she helps me see that my own dreams aren’t so stupid, after all.
I just wish she could see that in herself. But when I try to bring her out into the light, I can feel her slipping away. Her walls are built up so high, I fear they’ll never come down. I want to love her like she deserves, but that’s just the problem. She doesn’t believe she deserves it...

Story
Even though I’m around hot football players every afternoon, they are not allowed to date me. If they even come close to flirting, my dad, Coach “The Boss” Davis, makes them run laps around the field until they puke. Not only has he forbidden me to date anyone at all, he’s even made me the football team’s water girl so he can keep tabs on me. What Dad doesn’t know is that I spend every last second of those two blissful hours of practice in the scorching California heat staring at Tyson Blake. He is the epitome of perfection. And Dad hates him.

After I returned to my small hometown six months ago to attend my estranged grandmother's funeral, I swore I would never go back. That is, until my grandmother's lawyer calls me up. If I don't return to Harmony Island and fulfill my grandmother's stipulations, the generationally owned family inn will be turned over to the state and sold off to the highest bidder—my grandmother's rival and mother to the man who broke my heart, Missy Willis. I'm not sure I'm strong enough to return home, but I also know, I can't let Miss Willis win.

One humiliating photo, a stupid prank, and a hashtag that goes viral. That's how my senior year goes from predictable to absurd in a heartbeat. This year is supposed to be easy. I've finally scored first chair in band, my college applications are done, and all my friends and I have to do is survive one more year of high school before our real lives can begin. Instead, I find myself in trouble with the principal, humiliated in front of the entire school, and fighting with my neighbor - AKA star quarterback, Prince Charming, and nicest guy on the planet.

Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

Story
Skye Shin has heard it all. Fat girls shouldn’t dance. Wear bright colors. Shouldn’t call attention to themselves. But Skye dreams of joining the glittering world of K-Pop, and to do that, she’s about to break all the rules that society, the media, and even her own mother, have set for girls like her. She’ll challenge thousands of other performers in an internationally televised competition looking for the next K-pop star, and she’ll do it better than anyone else.

Cameron Bright’s reputation can be summed up in one word: b*tch. It’s no surprise she’s queen bee at her private LA high school - she’s beautiful, talented, and notorious for her brutal honesty. But when she slips up in front of her crush, Andrew, any affection he may have had for her quickly fades. To win him over, Cameron resolves to “tame” herself, much like Shakespeare’s infamous shrew, Katherine. If she makes amends with everyone she’s ever wronged, Andrew will have to take notice.

If they even come close to flirting, my dad, Coach “The Boss” Davis, makes them run laps around the field until they puke. Not only has he forbidden me to date anyone at all, he’s even made me the football team’s water girl so he can keep tabs on me. What Dad doesn’t know is that I spend every last second of those two blissful hours of practice in the scorching California heat staring at Tyson Blake. He is the epitome of perfection. And Dad hates him.

Certainly not with the lovely kindergarten teacher whose scent drives me wild. But she needs a fake boyfriend for a weekend wedding trip. A big guy to intimidate her ex. How can I refuse? I won’t be directly disobeying an order, because it won’t be a real date. It will be a nice clean mission. We’ll have separate rooms. I’ll keep my wolf on a tight leash. And no matter how much I want to, I will not mark and claim the sweet human as mine.

Needed A Male Narrator
This was a really enjoyable book, many would say it's childdish and the main character was over the top with her emotions with her weight .. but let me tell you ..
The story is about Collette, who is overweight and that's preventing her from pursuing her dream which is dancing Ballet .. then we meet Ethan, who wants to be a football Quarterback AND and Guitarist, but his father is preventing him from doing that .. together they will learn to trust each other to chase after their dreams .. together
for anyone who's never been overweight, you will NEVER understand how much this will affect your self esteem in every area in your life .. as a former overweight person I can say I am still healing from the emotional scar that left me .. so no .. Collette wasn't being dramatic .. she is a teenager who's facing a great challenge and didn't find her way until she learned to accept herself .. which is something I'm still struggling to do .. so props to the authors for that, it's the first book I read that captures what it means to be overweight in a merciless society
As for the narration, I really think the book would do way better with a male narrator as she struggled to capture Ethan's voice through out the book .. but other than that she was good

The Quarterback and the Ballerina
Ethan is the team captain that has a lot of pressure on him from his mayor father. Collette wants to be a dancer but has been made to feel like she can’t be. When they are thrown together because of what Ethan’s team did they find they might be able to help each other. This was really cute and sweet. I need to know what happens to Ryan and Bianca.

2.5 stars: Over-the-top teenage angst
After 4 hours of listening to Ethan rave about Collette and repeatedly tell her she’s beautiful, followed by Collette rejecting his compliments and having an internal dialogue where she constantly talks about her size and how she’s too big to be a ballerina, I called it quits. I enjoy lighthearted, angsty, high school romances every now and then, but Collette was insufferable. I gave the story 2 stars simply because there are Harry Potter references.

sweet and wholesome
It was a sweet story but I feel it should be categorized for teens rather than young adults. I gave the story a 4 because it felt anti climatic. However, it was still enjoyable.

I couldn’t finish
I can understand how you have to give background of the characters feelings to get the reader into the story but this girl is so self hated that I can’t take it, I don’t know how ballerinas worlds work but jeez I can’t keep listing ramble about “how big I look” this and that. I saw this on ig and wanted to give it a try but nope, Next.
