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

dark informative medium-paced

2.75

I think that my expectation for this book was that it would feel more like a personal memoir but it felt as though Alice was often sharing anecdotes and quotes from other former ballerina's. I often was a little confused about who she was quoting or speaking about (this may also have been compounded by listening to the audiobook vs reading the physical book). It was expecting a more personal account of Alice's experience with ballet but I finished the book and still felt like I did not know much about Alice as a person. It made me want to read memoirs/more books about some of the ballerinas she quoted and talked about in the book.
