The first time I heard about this book it was while I was watching the movie "You've Got Mail." When I saw it at a thrift store, I snatched it up. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a ballerina, but I wasn't graceful and didn't have the feet. I would've enjoyed this story then just ad I enjoyed it now. The only thing that did bother me was how snobbish all three of the girls become at different points throughout the story, but it's still a cute read.
