Desde que supe que esta bilogia iba a tener serie en Netflix me Moria de ganas por leerla y por lo mismo tuve expectativas altas las cuales no ha superado. Pero el libro en general me ha gustado.

Tenemos a tres personajes principales las cuales son Gigi, Bette y June, estas son bailarinas de ballet y luchan por obtener el papel principal. No he conectado con ellas pero la que más me agrada es Gigi.

El libro en sí es bastante entretenido y la pluma de las autoras es sencilla, aunque tenía problema a la hora de las descripciones que ponían en libro ya que eran muy largas y daban poco lugar a los diálogos.

El final me ha gustado mucho y ya quiero leer el segundo libro.

It was definitely entertaining enough to keep me reading through the end in two days. I don’t think that i will pick up the next one though, i might but I didn’t really feel like i want to know what happens next. Definitely can see why people call it Pretty Little Liars but with ballet. It’s definitely dramatic and suspenseful.

4.5 Stars!!

I really did enjoy this book. I love the drama and the rivalry that comes with ballerinas. I loved how complex every character is with all their secrets and little things that they don't tell anyone cause it will put them at a disadvantage. My favourite character was Will 100%. He deserves all the happiness in the entire world but he also needs better taste in men. I honestly don't have a favourite from the 3 leads. They are all annoying yet great in their own ways. I enjoyed Bette's chapters the most 100%. She's so dramatic and horrible to everyone. I loved reading her thought process. At times I thought the drama was a bit unrealistic but for the most part I could see the things that happened actually happen to ballerina's today.

Cant wait to get my hands on Shiny Broken Pieces and finish up this series (i think its a duology but i could be wrong).

This book was a little cliche but still entertaining and dramatic. It was overall a fun read. You do not find out who is responsible for a lot of what happens in this book, so you definitely have to read the next book in order to find out who did what and who was at fault for all of the different things that happened over the course of the book.

This was a quick read, tough to put down, but not something that really left a lasting impression. I picked it up because I love YA as well as ballet, and while the drama was entertaining, I feel like it could have dug a lot deeper. Loved Bette, loved June, really did not care for Gigi (I think I ended up skimming through her Valentine's Day chapter because I just did NOT care), but all three POVs were well-written and distinct. The ending felt rushed and I was annoyed that I came this far only to be left with an unsatisfying cliffhanger that did not make me want to read the second book but, rather, look up the twist online.

I LOVED the ballet school vibe, but it made me a bit confused at times
