The Turning Pointe by Vanessa L. Torres
4.0
"Rosa, croisé devant,"...Torres is not here to explain the intricacies of ballet to you and I'm here for it.
Though it's set in 1983 Minneapolis I feel the struggles of all the characters (trying to define themselves without their parent's expectations weighing them down) will still resonate enough with youth and others today.
Personally, I also just love that this book is set someplace other than an East Coast city, and guest stars the Purple One. "Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today...."
