Hold Me Like a Breath by Tiffany Schmidt

I went in to I’m Dreaming of A Wyatt Christmas thinking it was going to be a YA book with an older main character, but as Noelle is fourteen, it was definitely an adjustment to what I normally look for in a YA book. With enough Christmas magic, Noelle might just start the New Year with lots of babysitting cash in her pocket and a chance with the pas de deux partner of her dreams. After a few missteps, Noelle and Wyatt begin to thaw toward each other and bond over the big decisions looming in each of their lives. He’s one of the best dancers at Beacon, and makes Noelle’s head spin faster than pirouettes. Unfortunately, she also manages to step on his toes-spoiling his surprise and complicating his secret plans. Noelle is ready to “Deck the Halls” and have fa la la la fun, until Wyatt, the older half-brother of her babysitting charges, decides to surprise his family for the holiday. It helps that they’re offering double her rate-she’ll need the money for Beacon, an elite ballet academy that’s granted her an audition. So when her favorite babysitting clients ask her to accompany them on a ski trip over winter break, she packs her bags for the slopes.

But lately she’s bored by the lessons at her dance school, and her friends and father are more bah humbug than Hallmark movie marathon. Noelle Partridge is known for three things: being the best ballet dancer, babysitter, and person with the most Christmas spirit in her small town.

About The Book: Ballet and babysitting bring two teens together in this very merry holiday rom-com from the author of the acclaimed Bookish Boyfriends series
