As sweet as a macaron from Ladurée, with writing as crisp as a freshly baked baguette, this romantic novel set in Paris about an American ballerina and a charming French boy is parfait for fans of American Royals and Netflix's Emily in Paris.

As sweet as a macaron from Ladurée, this romantic novel set in Paris about an American ballerina and a charming French boy is parfait! And don't miss Anne-Sophie's swoony French Kissing in New York!

Mia Jenrow has always known she's destined to be a professional ballerina. In fact, it's in her blood—according to family legend, her too-many-greats-to-count-grandmother once danced for the Paris Opera and was painted by Degas himself! Her parents say it's just a fantasy, but to Mia, it's so much more than that. It's her fate.

Mia is planning to spend a magical summer in France pursuing her dream, but as she pirouettes into Paris, she soon realises it may be a bit more complicated than she hoped. For starters, there's her rival, Audrey, who will stop at nothing to show her up. There's her ballet instructor, whose impossibly high standards push her to the breaking point. And then... there's Louis. Devastatingly, distractingly charming Louis. He's eager to show Mia his city—and Mia is more than happy to hop on his Vespa and wrap her arms around him as they pass the gleaming lights of the Eiffel Tower.

Mia's summer was supposed to be about ballet—but there's a reason Paris is called the City of Love...
