I read the first book with a pounding heart, and I can say the exact same thing for this one. It was torture to see Gigi turn into such an awful version of herself, but the ending of this book has to be one of the most satisfying endings I've ever read. SpoilerBesides June not being Jayhe! I love them together and I have to say that June was probably my favorite character. I am happy for her, though, even though she and Jayhe are far apart. I think that everybody gets what they deserve. This book was very well-written and there was never a slow part. It was compelling to see all these characters struggle to find their place in their shattered world. Old friendships end, but so do old feuds and that really made me super happy. I would definitely recommend this book, even if you don't have any interest in ballet. :)

Will read again another time when I can find a print copy. I'm just not vibing with eBooks right now.

This started out really promising, but then just ended up being the same thing as the first book for another 300 pages. It just got a little old after a while. Still entertaining, just nothing really exciting or memorable.

forgettable plot, but an honest and compassionate look at disordered eating.
