The Quarterback and the Ballerina by Maggie Dallen, Anne-Marie Meyer
4.0
The Quarterback and The Ballerina
4✨
YA, Romance
Something I really enjoyed about this book was getting to see representation of a young girl who feels insecure of her plus size body and has been told she can’t succeed due to her size. Also? I loved the dynamic of the star football player not noticing her size, and just ultimately seeing Collette for who she is. Which is a snarky, quiet, intelligent, talented and nerdy ballerina in hiding. Ethan brings to the table the urge to break free from the mold people put others in, desperate to reshape the world into who they are.
The romance is sweet and brings softness to the characters. Desperate to hide what she wants because she feels that she won’t succeed as others have said, Collette pushes Ethan to be himself and shine in his musical talents. All the while, Ethan desperately tries to help Collette find the truth about herself, that she is not what others say.
