Seventeen year old American Mia's life is all about ballet. She is accepted in an elite summer program at the ballet school of the Paris Opera, one of the most famous and best ballet academies. Her dream is to audition for the American Ballet Theater at the end of the summer program. Her time in romantic Paris is everything she dreamed of. Not only is she accepted into the ballet program, which is just one of the best, she is placed a level higher by one of the most strict ballet masters, and is picked to dance the part of the black swan Odile at the end performance of Swan Lake. Where she has to work together with a girl named Audrey, who dances the part of the white swan and truly seems to dislike her.
She also meets a guy named Louis, who becomes her friend and shows her around Paris. Not knowing that he is the son of her strict ballet master..beside ballet classes, she has a great time with him in Paris, diving into all the fun sighths and sees and a lot of Degas. But then some things happen that put her relationship with Louis and her future ballet career in true jeopardy..
I truly was curious for this book, and it totally topped my expectations! I did ballet in the past and I have been to Paris so this was already both familar to me. Most of all, the book is written in such a fun and entertaining way, wow! The whole Paris scenery was perfect in every way. The romance between Mia and Louis was just so cute, it really had a bump later on, when Mia has to choose between her relationship or concentrate fully on ballet, but that was a nice twist in the story. And then (spoiler alert! ) there was this big plot twist in the last part of the book that I totally didn't expect. It was so heartbreaking what happened, I really hoped things turned out well for Mia.
So overall, I just LOVED kisses and croissants, a perfect book for this spring, very entertaining, for everyone who loves Paris and ballet!!
