Dear Nocturne,
You had all of the things that I thought I would love. Ballet, music, mystery, you had all the parts of a beautiful story. Unfortunately, you really fell down on the writing for me. There were so many similes that it was distracting. Grace was also a bit dense when it came to putting together what was happening around her. It was painfully obvious to me who Mr. Russo was, but Grace simply could not see it. I often found myself rolling my eyes or yelling at her, because it was so apparent to me. You really tried to be mysterious and lyrically written, but missed the mark.
