Leap is a graphic novel set in a competitive dance school in Romania. The story follows two roommates over the first few months of their junior year. Ana is a contemporary dancer whose heart is no longer in dance, but with Carina, a classically trained ballerina who has little time for romance. Sara had been studying classical dance, but switched to contemporary dance at the suggestion of one of her instructors who she quickly developed feelings for. The story follows them as the girls try to figure out what they want for their futures and how their romantic feelings will play into that.

I really enjoyed the story that was being told in Leap. I don't know a whole lot about dance, but the characters' struggles and feelings were still relatable. The artwork is really nice and I especially enjoyed the way that color was used throughout. The dance sequences were frequently in full color and did a good job of showing movement and the feelings the characters were experiencing. This will be a great graphic novel for people who enjoy coming of age stories, stories about difficult relationships, and stories about friendship.
