Astonish Me by Maggie Shipstead

3.0

This book has been getting passed around my ballet class. It finally made it's way to me and I have to say that, having read it, I'm pretty ambivalent about this book. I enjoyed the glimpse into the difficult and high-powered world of professional dance, but it was hard to really like any of the characters and the story becomes ridiculously convoluted. The main character, Joan, is incredibly distant and so I had a hard time caring when she turned out to have manipulated most of the people around her.
