I really enjoyed this book! I liked the main characters, and while the ending was easy to predict by the middle of the story, the book managed to avoid cliches and deliver a great experience throughout. I not only liked the romance between the two main characters, I liked how well-rounded the other characters were, which added to the story. I would like to read other books by this author.

A great beach or holiday read!

Eyes on Me is a wonderfully cute read that will leave you with a huge smile on your face. Lily and "Stone" are so much fun and they couldn't be more different. She is the always serious nerdy type while he is the star athlete yet they seem to balance each other out perfectly. They get to know each other when Lily's father declares Saturdays as no study days following a stress related health scare and he signs Lily up for dance class at Stone's family studio. That is where much of the story takes place. It's a sweet romance that just makes your heart happy. I highly recommend it.

I applaud Rachel Harris’ EYES ON ME. Concerned about her stress level, Lily Bailey’s father enrolls her in dance classes in hopes of relaxing her. Unknown to her, he offers star Brighton High football player, Stone Torres, money for being her dance partner. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for young adults.

EYES ON ME was an entertaining and believable read. The characters were well developed. I like Lily. She puts a lot of stress on herself to become valedictorian and to get accepted to Harvard. After winding up in the hospital, her father enrolls her in dance classes as an activity to get her mind off her classes. Stone is a good guy. Out of concern for the financial well-being of his mother’s dance studio, he accepts money from Lily’s dad to be Lily’s dance partner. As he gets to know Lily, he feels conflicted about taking the money. Cameron Montgomery is the perfect antagonist. She is Lily’s competition for valedictorian and Stone’s ex-girlfriend.

I enjoyed the plot. There were good life lessons and moral issues. I have taken ballroom dance classes, so I respected that aspect of the story. Being Hungarian, I appreciated that Stone’s mom/dance instructor was born there. I like that the characters faced significant obstacles and grew as a result. This is the first book that I have read by Rachel Harris. I enjoyed her writing style. I would read books by her in the future. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Summary: Lily Bailey is a proud nerd. She loves books and spends more time studying than she does at high school football games. Lily’s life begins to change when after a stress induced trip to the hospital, her dad forces her to take ballroom dancing lessons. At her first lesson Lily encounters Stone Torres, the high school’s star quarterback and son of the dance studio’s owner. Lily’s dad knows she doesn’t want to spend her free time learning to salsa so he offers Stone a large payment if he will become Lily’s permanent dance partner and encourage her to keep taking classes. Stone knows that his family’s business is in jeopardy and reluctantly accepts Mr. Bailey’s money in hopes that he may be able to help keep the studio open. However, as Stone and Lily spend more time together the two form a connection that neither want to lose.

What’s Good: I love a book with a smart main character and Lily was a fabulously brainy girl. Also, s a person that reads a lot of YA, I appreciate when an author has an original angle. Harris’s dance studio romance had a very cute and originally feeling premise.

What’s Not So Good: It took me a really long time to warm up to Stone and Lily. They just didn’t really connect for me until about a third of the way through the book. I was may more interested in the possible romance between Stone’s sister and his best friend.

Bottom Line: This is a cute book about opposite attract that fans of YA romance will enjoy.

This was a very cute and fluffy read.
The nerdy girl and the popular guy falling in love is one of my favorite tropes, it's pulled off quite well in this book. I loved the writing, I found the characters well-developed and easy to connect to. While the premise isn't the most original one ever, I found the plot to be quite well executed, and the issues the protagonists face realistic.
Everything about Eyes on Me made me want to keep mine on the book. It was fun and easy to read. A perfect addition to the YA romance genre.

The story was good. Loved Lily and Stone together but the story didn't live up to my expectations. I was hyped about this but felt a bit lacking in the story. It was a cute story though but i couldn't get in to the stort early. The character Building was okay.

Would still recommend it.

The blurb of this book was about a nerdy girl and dancing. So, of course I had to request it. And although the blurb already made me happy, the actual book was far more awesome. We meet Lily, a straight-A nerdy student who gets sick from stress and working hard. Since her mother has died from cancer, her father is very worried. So he signs her up for dancing lessons at the dance studio of Agoston ('Stone') Torres' family. Stone is the notorious King of the Prom, star quarterback of school, the hot-shot.
What nobody knows, however, is that Stone really isn't the airhead everyone thinks him to be. He doesn't need the spotlight and his biggest concern is to help his family keep the dance studio afloat. So when Lily's father offers him money to be her dancing partner for the next few weeks, he agrees.
Lily doesn't understand how the school's biggest star suddenly is interested in her. How can he be willing to dance with her, the klutz on unwilling feet? But when Lily and Stone spend more time together, they realize that both are not what they appeared to each other. They both have secrets and dreams nobody knows about. Heartwarming, cute and cozy! A wonderful read, which keeps you warm on a winters day. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

I received an e-arc of Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris from Entangled Teen via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This has in no way influenced my thoughts and feelings about the book.

I haven't read a new Rachel Harris is nearly 2 years - what on earth. I can't believe that it's been that long. But as soon as I started Eyes on Me, I remembered why I fell in love with her romances, with her stories.

Eyes on Me follows Lily as she tries to navigate her last year at high school. She is so close to becoming valedictorian, but Lily knows that it can slip through her fingers at any time. But after an intense hospital visit, Lily's father needs her to do something other than studying. So when her Dad signs her up for dancing lessons, Lily isn't having it. She can't walk straight, let alone dance. But she knows that it will make him happy.

Stone has a lot going for him, as the star quarterback, and popular kid, you think he was living a teenage dream. But his mother's dance studio is struggling. So when Lily's dad offers him extra cash for being Lily's dance partner as well as keeping her entertained - he really can't say no. But we all know that this is going to end up a disaster.

I have always loved reading Rachel Harris novels, I don't know what it is. But whenever I pick up one of her books I just fall in love. And I felt the same with Eyes on Me. While it does have a very cliché premise, it still had its unique twist that made me want to keep on reading. Most of the time I really don't like books that feature dancing, I don't know what it is. However, it really worked here.
I really enjoyed Lily as a protagonist, she was easy to get along with and I loved getting to know her. At the start of the novel, Lily is very quiet and draw back from others. Focused on becoming valedictorian there is nothing else matters too much. She wants to make her mother proud. I think that is what drove her a lot through Eyes on Me. The reader is able to see that Lily is still grieving her mother's death and not only that, she misses her.

Lily's character arc and growth is something that I loved throughout Eyes on Me. The reader is able to see that she not only gains confidence in herself but those around her. She is able to form more friendships and let herself be free in a way. And it wasn't just through meeting Stone, but through the dancing as well.

Stone was an interesting character as well. While I didn't like him as much as Lily, I still enjoyed getting to know him. One of the things that I admired about him was the love that he had for his family. Not only for his parents but his sister as well. From the get-go, the reader is able to see who much Stone cares for them all, and he will do anything for them. While Stone had the usual quarterback persona, he was also very sensitive and he danced.

Stone and Lily together were totally adorable. The reader is able to see from the start that they have a connection. This connection becomes stronger as the novel goes on. Through them dancing together and simply having out. I loved that the romance wasn't too fast, but then again it wasn't slow. It was kind of the perfect rate for me. What I didn't like about the romance was how it started. It's a trope that I don't particularly like, but I pushed through it. I understand why Stone took the money, but I wish he stopped taking it. Because, in the end, everyone gets hurt.

Grief is something is looked at in YA a lot, but I thought that Rachel Harris did an excellent job at it in Eyes on Me. As I said before dancing in novels aren't usually something that I like reading about. But I think it really helped the reader understand Lily's grief.

In saying all this there were times throughout the novel that I felt like I had read them before. Eyes on Me is very cliché at sometimes that did turn me off. But I was invested in Lily's story and I wanted to see where it went. I think that sometimes YA contemporary romance can be like that. you kind of know what's going to happen but you want to read on.

Another thing that I did love about the novel as it looks on female friendship. I think that is something that YA lacks still, but Rachel Harris explored it in such a nice way in Eyes on Me. I liked that the reader is not only able to see old friendships stay strong but, when another girl is added to the mix, it doesn't break apart. The friendships were very warm and welcoming.

Overall, Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris as a fantastic read. It's a lighthearted romance novel that explores friendship, new romances, but also looks at grief and learning to overcome it. The writing was easy to read and the romance was just adorable. Rachel Harris has a knack for writing very real characters and she does it yet again in Eyes on Me.

Anyone who’s been following my reading in the past few years knows (because I remind everyone quite frequently) that I am an avid Young Adult contemporary reader. Sometimes I will fall into a hole where all I crave are cute romances. Eyes On Me by Rachel Harris is a perfect example of my love for certain kinds of contemporaries. Real, honest, and slightly dramatic, Harris’s novel was so thoroughly devoured by me that I want another one (especially if it’s about a certain sister in this book.)

Lily is your typical, over-achieving nerd. She wants to get into one of the best colleges, so she will (literally) work herself sick to accomplish her goals. All Lilly wants is to follow the plan she made with her dying mom. After finding her sick from the stress she’s put on herself, Lily’s dad decides that she needs to slow things down and get a hobby: dancing. Stone is the popular guy in school. Football, lots of friends, and charisma that oozes from his perfect pores. But Stone has multiple secrets and more depth than that of just being the town’s football hero. Stone’s family dance studio may be in trouble and when Lily’s dad offers him a deal too good to pass up, he agrees. But what will happen when things start to change and clumsy, self-conscious (but secretly tough) Lily comes face to face with charismatic Stone?

One of the things I love about contemporary novels is dual perspectives. I want to know what each character is thinking during critical moments. I want to be able to see the POVs of the characters and how they see the world–but mainly, I love seeing those private internal reflections of their co-narrators. Eyes On Me features dual perspectives and it made me so happy. In a way, it played into Lily’s commentary on how people put on a mask for the public while having so much going on inside.

Lily wasn’t a perfect character by any means. She was flawed and she had a lot of growing to do. Harris did a great job of essentially rebuilding this character while also reminding her of how she was before her mom’s death. And grief is another topic that surrounds Lily in this book. She deals with the death of her mom by striving to do her best in school. In growing from that dangerous dependency that Lily gained in the years since her mom’s death, she also learns to properly process the grief she’s been harboring for so long. I also love that Lily allows herself to try new things. Sure, she’s hesitant at first, but she persists.

Stone is a little more of the cliche of the two, but I like that he isn’t the typical “mean popular guy, turned nice”. We’re first introduced to Stone in a typical Lily clumsy way and even then he’s a sweetheart. Stone’s personal drama with his ex was done in a way where you knew it was something to be dealt with, but it didn’t overtake his new budding friendship with Lily. Also, he’s an incredible brother and adorable son! I want to also commend Harris for introducing a football player who’s an amazing dancer. While yes, she does comment on the expected stereotypes of him being a dancer, I like that it wasn’t enough to make him question who he is and what he loves.

I can understand why Stone makes some of the decisions he makes, but I still felt that growing sense of anxiety waiting for when everything would come to light. I literally put this book down for several days because I was too scared to read on. That’s how well Harris built the anticipation for what was going to happen.

Lily and Stone together was the cutest thing because they built each other up so much. I love seeing relationships where the characters actually learn more about each other and focus on helping them better who they are. Stone’s relationship with Lily is sweet. Watching him grow to become someone who isn’t just a football hero, and seeing her want to enjoy life beyond studying more was awesome. Another reason why I love dual perspectives in stories is because we get to see the love interest of the current narrator in the same way that character sees them. We are incredibly biased when we only have one perspective. There is a particular scene where Lily says something to Stone that is really surprising to him, while I’m sure that if we were in her head, all we would read is: omg, I’m rambling! Their dynamic definitely benefited from this stylistic choice.

Also, let’s talk about how Harris handles the drama in this book.

She introduces it and…deals with it in a logical way. I don’t want to say too much because spoilers, but I was happy that I overcame my anxiety and read on because she handled it really well. Though the reasoning behind the drama is a little cliche, it was done in a much better way than other novels I’ve seen that use this dramatic cliche. Especially the aftermath–respect to those who don’t drag out misunderstandings and similar plot devices!

Now, the side characters! I love stories where the protagonists have best friends who actually act like like best friends. I’m a big fan of authors who don’t use a friend’s lack of trust and inability to be a good friend as a plot device. Lily and Stone have friends who actually earn the titles of “best friends”. Also, I loved that though they aren’t entirely rounded or part of the central plot, we still learn enough about them to understand their roles in the story.

Stone’s family was adorable and while I want to see them through the eyes of his sister, I liked seeing a family that wasn’t falling apart (despite their financial troubles). Lily’s dad also experienced some serious character growth and that was sort of surprising. Parents magically change near the end in a lot of the contemporary novels that deal with similar situations. In Eyes On Me, much like the title states, Lily’s dad starts noticing his daughter’s spiraling from the very beginning of the novel.

Finally, the dancing aspect of this book was a lot of fun! I remember looking up one of the songs mentioned more than once in this book and dancing in my kitchen. I love books that give you that chance to think about them beyond the pages.

Basically, I loved this book. Was it perfect? No, definitely not–but it was one of the more well-written and addicting Young Adult contemporaries out there. I’d strongly recommend it to anyone who loves music and dancing featured in their books, and also the jock and nerd romantic trope!

I really enjoyed that ballroom dancing was the background for this novel. It's something unique that I haven't seen in YA before but certainly helped bring on the swoons.

Eyes on Me was a solid contemporary with two opposites finding each other and how they fit together. It was a predictable love story with a happily ever after and there's nothing wrong with that. I love seeing how authors take the predictable timeline of a romance and make it their own. The side characters in this one were amazing and I loved what they brought to our MCs story. This was also dual pov and I really enjoyed seeing this love story unfold from both of their points of view.

Overall, Eyes on Me was a fun read with characterization being its strong suit. I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a bit of a twist on their classic romance.

*I received a complimentary copy of this book from Entangled: Teen through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.*

I’m so glad I read this book because it was a super cute and fun read! Eyes on Me follows Lily, who is forced into dance lessons by her father with the intent of having a stress free activity after she ends up in the hospital due to school-related stress. In order to motivate Lily to keep going to lessons, her father ends up enlisting Stone, the school quarterback and son of the dance school owner to be her permanent partner during lessons. As you can imagine, cuteness ensues from there.

What I appreciated most about this book was how it managed to be adorable while also dealing with important topics. It deals really well with grief and anxiety and I appreciated how both of these issues were discussed in a thorough manner. Concerns about not knowing what to do with your life and maintaining an image were also really well explored in this book.

I also adored the familial aspect in this book, and by that, I mean Stone’s adorable family. His parents and twin sister, Angela, were great to read about, and I feel like there’s a chance we can get Angela’s story in the future, which has me very excited.

The story may have been a bit predictable, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Stone and Lily were really cute together and I enjoyed seeing how their relationship helped both of them develop and grow, albeit in different ways.

I’d definitely recommend this one for anyone looking for a cute, fluffy read that has strong family dynamics and a whole lot of dancing.

I picked this book up right after finishing a rather dark and heavy book, and I was so glad I did. Eyes on Me was the fun, cute, and adorable romance I needed to put a smile back on my face.

Who?

• Lily - The straight-A high achiever working towards early admission to Harvard and securing her position as class valedictorian.

• Stone - The school's football hero and all around popular guy, who had sworn off women after a messy breakup.

What?

After she was hospitalized for a stress related illness, Lily's dad made a deal with her to make Saturday a day to do anything BUT schoolwork. He enrolled Lily in ballroom dancing classes at the school, which happens to be owned and run by Stone's family. Good timing and an opportunity pairs Stone and Lily together and friendship follows, but will their relationship be able to withstand the weight of Stone's secret?

Why?

I am such a sucker for the nerdy girl-sporty/popular guy pairing, and this one was done really well. One thing that stood out was that there was no making over Lily. She was pretty much her true self throughout the book, she just infused a little more fun into her life.

You know why Lily didn't get any sort of make over? Because she was fabulous to start with. She may have liked to fly under the radar, but had a lot going for her. Lily was super smart, but she also had a great sense of humor, as illustrated with her endless supply of witty t-shirts, and very generous with her time and kind, as shown via her peer tutoring. I loved how she wanted to help people see the best side of themselves, and worked hard to achieve this. She was just a very positive force, and I adored her for it. She also grew and healed a lot over the course of the book, and I was happy with the choices she made for herself.

Stone was so much more than a BMOC jock, but he made it a habit to keep those parts of himself hidden. He was a wonderful friend and brother. His adoration for his sister was absolutely precious. In fact, his dedication to his entire family was a beautiful thing, and it endeared him to me. I easily forgave him for a certain transgression, because it was done with the intention of saving his family's business, and his heart was in the right place. Gosh, he was quiet swoony. There were a so many times I wanted to high five or pat him on the back, because he said or did the exact right thing. He wore his heart on his sleeve and it was a HUGE and wonderful heart at that.

Stone plus Lily were too cute for words. The interactions between them were so fun and sweet, and I loved how much they encouraged each other. They were able to see through all the armor and the pretense to the real Stone and the real Lily, and that made me ship them even more.

As a former dance mom, who dedicated a LOT of time to my daughter's dancing, I was super excited to see ballroom dance play such a big role in this story. I loved how it bonded Lily and Stone to each other, how it helped Lily keep her mother's memory alive, how it brought the community together, how it gave Lily confidence, and how it helped her reconnect with her dad. It was great the way Harris utilized dance in this story, and I really enjoyed seeing the characters in action as well.

Other notable things:

• Siblings - The relationship between Stone and Angela was so wonderful. The love they had for each other was really sweet and touching.

• Angela - What a wonderful character! I loved her zest for life, love for her family, and fierce friendship. And, she was a master of movie references too. Lots to love about this girl. (And, I hope Rachel Harris sees it in her heart to write a book for Angela and Chase - I'm just saying.)

• Female friendship - Lily may not have had many friends, but the ones she had were high quality. Both Angela and Sydney the the type of friends people strive for. They were steadfast and supportive and there when Lily needed them most.

Overall: A fun, sweet, and swoony romance showing that not only do opposites attract, they also belong together.

Entangled Teen books are always like candy; sweet and addicting. I can never just read one chapter, I always have to sit down and read a handful.

Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris was no different. It was a dancing book, and I always like books that have dancing in it. This book reminded me a little of Step Up 2 because there was one salsa dancing scene in it and it was one of my favorite scenes.

Another reason why I liked this book because there was the nerd befriends the popular jock troop in it and I forgot how much I love those. I LOVED how One Tree Hill was mentioned in it since I am a Naley shipper. And the book love in it was PERFECT.

Overall, Eyes on Me was a five star read. I'd recommend this book to be read during the summer time because it just has those warm happy vibes. That cover was so adorable.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the chance to read and review this! This has no impact on my thoughts, my thoughts are my own. This review will be up on my blog on Friday!

I received a copy of from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. Thank you to the author and publisher for the opportunity.

5 Stars and here’s why:

A hella-hot athlete that dances? Sign me up! I loved this story! EYES ON ME is a great read. It’s a YA contemporary romance that had me turning the pages to see if they finally get together or if they call it quits. I found the writing superb, the characters engaging, and the plot entertaining. It’s not easy to navigate the adulting trenches, and everyone has struggles – both teens and their parents. The author explores issues such as anxiety, meeting parental and societal expectations, and how to navigate one’s hopes and dreams when everyone has a stake in your future. If you like hella-hot guys that can dance and play football, and savvy girls that forge their own path, then this book is for you. Highly recommend.

I really liked this super cute, young adult book. It was cheesy but soooo good. While it was a pretty common trope we see with a smart girl and a jock, this was different in many ways. There was the added factor of dance lessons, which I thought was so fun, especially between teenagers. It really showed the benefits of dance throughout the book.

All the characters added dimension to the story. The main characters, Lily and Stone, were perfect together. They thought they were so different from each other, when in reality they had a lot in common. Stone is more of a live in the moment guy vs. Lily’s planned her entire future out. While Stone was popular, Lily was a nerd, yet they both were hiding in plain sight. But, they both showed a lot of change throughout the book. Stone was seriously the nicest jock. The only problem I had was obviously him taking money from Lily’s dad to dance with her, but you do understand why he did it. And Lily, my heart seriously broke for her. She had been dealt a rough hand lately and I just wanted to give her a big hug. She also had anxiety and I thought the way Harris explained Lily’s feelings of anxiety was done exceptionally well.

My only complaint would be that it was slow paced. I really had to push to get into the book, but it was so worth it in the end.

I would definitely recommend this sweet young adult story. I really hope we can get a book for Angela and Chase now!

Awe this is such a sweet romantic YA novel. I absolutely loved it. Lily and Stone are perfect for each other, two teens with a lot of problems trying to make the best of their lives.
Lily suffers from anxiety problem, all she worries about is college and has no interest in enjoying her highschool life. Now her father is worried about her and decides to intervene. She must have fun and enoy a little otherwise her anxiety can become a big problem. Her health comes first and college is not everything. So, it is decided that she takes dance classes every week at a place owned and run by Torres family.
Where Lily is a complete nerd, Stone Torres is her exact opposite. He is the most popular guy at their school and now he is her dance partner. Oddly enough he has an uncanny ability to calm her anxious heart. She never thought she could dance even a little but thanks to Stone she is doing fine. At leat she is not a complete disaster on the dance floor.
What started as simple dance partnership soon turned into so much more. Lily is someone he can easily fall in love with. The only problem is that she doesn't know the reason why he became her dance partner in the first place. He plans to tell her though.
All in all, it is a great and fun read with lots of references of my favorite romantic movies. I quite enjoyed the story and loved the characters.

Thank you kindly to Entangled Publishing via Netgalley for the opportunity to read Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris.

Eyes on Me is about Lily, a studious nerd and Agoston “Stone” Torres, the popular school quarterback - complete opposites, When Lily ends up in hospital from stress, her dad decides that she needs an outlet to relax so Saturday's would be dedicated to no study and he signs her up to dance class. Stone's family own a dance studio that is failing, numbers are dwindling and it looks like they may have to close so when he is offered a cash incentive from Lily's father to encourage her to stick with dancing, he eagerly accepts it despite feeling guilty.

I absolutely adored the interactions and the banter between Lily and Stone, they couldn't be more different but they bought out the best in one another; from the onset you could see that things wouldn't always be rosy with Lily unaware of the cash incentive from her father but it played out well.

The side characters were fabulously written and each played a pivotal role in the overall story, I would love to see Angela and Chase have their own book. I was saddened by the relationship that Lily shared with her absent father, it was fractured but to see them come together was great

This was such a great book, I couldn't wait to find out what would happen but then I was disappointed that it ended. It was written well, the characters were each wonderful, the dance aspect was thoroughly entertaining and I adored the romance. I can't wait to read more books by Rachel Harris.

4.5 out of 5 stars

Rachel Harris has been a go-to for contemporary YA romances for me and every time I read one of her books, I enjoy the heck out of them. It took me no time at all to fall into this book and it was another one sitting read about two young students who fall in love with each other and the journey they take to get to that happy for now ending.

Lily is trying to get into Harvard and she's working her butt off to make sure that she stands a chance of getting in. When she lands herself in the hospital for stressing the hell out, her Dad steps in and tells her that something needs to change. She either needs to give up some of her classes or she needs to take a day off from all things school, at least one day each week to do fun things. Anything that does not have anything to do with school. So to make her Dad happy, she signs up for a salsa class that brings her into contact with Stone Torres, the star football player from school.

Stone is the popular kid at school, the star quarterback that is living the life...only his parents are struggling with money, his girlfriend cheated on him and he's stuck working at his mother's dance studio for free when he could be making some actual money to help the family elsewhere. When he becomes Lily Bailey's permanent dance partner while she's taking classes at his Mom's studio, things are looking up and he figures he's got everything worked out until he starts getting to know Lily, starts liking Lily and then starts dating her. A tangled web of untruths threaten to blow up Stone's world again and he's not sure how to come out on top without damaging everything he's come to hold dear.

There was a lot going on in this book but I thought everything was handled well. I liked seeing Lily and Stone become friends and then work their way toward becoming more. I wanted Stone to come clean about everything much sooner but understood why he didn't and really, I thought Harris did a great job of showcasing a romance between the nerd and the jock that was sweet, fun and completely believable.

There was much to enjoy in this book outside of the romance between Stone and Lily too. The new friendship that blossomed between Angela, Lily, and Sidney. The potential of romance between Angela and Chase. The family dynamics are strong and overall, the story was just good and solid. There wasn't much about the book that I didn't enjoy. I mean, I didn't like Cameron and Noah but they were such a small part of the story and everything else was great. I'm certainly glad that I picked this one up for review because Rachel Harris shines with these YA contemporary romances. So good!

<strong>Grade: 4 out of 5</strong>

This was a really fun read and overall a pretty sweet and romantic story by Rachel Harris.

We have Lily who already has planned out what she wants her future to look like, be a valedictorian, go to Harvard and pretty much follow her parent's footsteps but in trying to achieve that, the stress becomes too much and she ends up in the hospital, it's all starting to affect her health and so her father wants her to do something just for fun and that is signing her up for salsa class. Now being sort of a clumsy person you can imagine she is not too excited for this. Lily was a very likable character, her personality along with that awkwardness of hers are endearing and it's cool that she owns that side of her; I could relate to her shyness, as she is someone who doen't really like being the center of attention, and she's also very smart and determined.

Our other main character and I really liked that this story was told from a dual POV is Stone.
He's a very popular guy, being the local football star and all but there was more to him and he was dealing with a lot of things such as and ex-girlfriend who cheated on him, his mother possibly losing her dance studio and not knowing what he wants to do after highschool. When Lily goes to his mother's studio for classes, her dad offers Stone money for him to keep dancing with Lily so she doesn't quit but as you can imagine as these two get to know each other everything will change.

This is a light and fun read, it has a nice pace and it's entertaining. I don't think I've read a lot of books that involve dancing so that was also fresh to me, it can be predictable but that didn't make me want to stop reading and I'm really hoping we get a second book that revolves around Stone's sister Angela.
So yes, I really enjoyed "Eyes on Me" and I'd surely recommend it.

Eyes on Me Rachel Harris a five-star read that you won’t be able to take your eyes off. This is such an adorable read, it will suck you in and you may find it overly sweet at times but my goodness its so good overall. I feel Lily’s pain I’m also a massive clutz so I was able to get into her life so easily and just get her. Stone is so much more than you think on the surface, much like his namesake there is more texture and uniqueness beneath the surface than you can imagine. Be warned you will spend most of your time reading with the biggest goofy smile on your face.
