Don't Think, Dear: On Loving and Leaving Ballet by Alice Robb

4.5

---

I found this memoir to be a good marriage between informative and pondering. The format took a bit of getting used to, as Robb does start a story, interject with other things, and then come back around to tell more of the story that had started before, but once I recognized that pattern, it bothered me less. I've always carried a small torch for ballet, though I've never taken lessons, but still found pieces of this relatable.
