The Ballerinas by Rachel Kapelke-Dale
2.0
I was SO READY to love this book!! I was obsessed with Dance Academy. I was obsessed with Tiny Pretty Things. And this seemed like it had the perfect premise to be similar vibes but just a little more adult. And...it definitely...had vibes.
That is, in fact, all it had for like the first half.
I guess you could say the second half made up for that by having ALL OF THE PLOTS. But also no good payoff for anything that was set up in the beginning??? It was just completely different book. And a worse one.
CW: abortion, abusive relationships, revenge porn, murder, alcoholism, cancer, lots of discussion around weight and diets
