thebookjunkee 's review for:
The Ballerinas
by Rachel Kapelke-Dale
Rounding up for goodreads but 3.5!
“Everything good is risky....The thing that you have to remember is that if you -don't- risk anything, you risk everything.”
Delphine, Lindsay, and Margaux are a trio of ballet dancers/best friends who end up keeping a deep secret for years throughout their lives. After a falling out, Delphine is determined to get the trip back together. Throughout the book, we come to find out the intensity behind the world of ballet and just how far some will go to shine.
I listened to this via audiobook and then the last quarter of the book I actually read it. I felt like had I actually read the book, I might have enjoyed it more. The first half was a bit slow for me as I was trying to navigate where exactly this storyline was going. But, it definitely picked up the second half of the book. I wasn’t expecting it to turn the way it did but it made up for the portions I wasn’t crazy about. I loved the cover of this book as well. However, all in all, it was an okay read.
