When best friends Zoe and Olivia are kicked out of their elite New York City ballet academy, Zoe thinks, "This is the worst thing that will happen to us in our entire lives." It is, until Livvie is diagnosed with leukemia. Kantor doesn't sugarcoat the messy ups and downs of either Livvie's illness or the girls' friendship, instead portraying both with honesty and compassion.
