Dancergirl by Carol M. Tanzman
I just started reading the novel Dancergirl by Carol M. Tanzman. Alicia Ruffino's passion is dance. Dance is her life. Most importantly, she is a perfectionist at it. But suddenly things take a turn when her best guy friend Jacy starts acting different toward her.
Jacy and Alicia have been best friends since first grade and can tell each other everything. Suddenly it seems to Alicia that Jacy is hiding something from her. None of his friends know what it is and neither does she.
When Alicia, Jacy, and a group of friends go to a concert, Alicia starts to dance. Her friend Charlie decides to take a video of her dancing and post it online. The video goes viral and gets numerous hits. Alicia decides that Charlie should take videos of her more often. But surprisingly, Jacy is not happy for her. He is careless. When Alicia decides to visit him and see what's wrong Jacy and his mother turn out to be very upset. Did a relative die? Did Jacy's dad lose his job? Were his parents fighting? No one knows. Alicia is on a mission to figure out what her best friend is hiding from her. No matter how bad or shocking this "secret" is, Alicia will find out.
