Absolute stunner of a debut novel. The beginning felt a bit slow to me, but it truly brought us into Laure's world. We see her passion for the ballet. Her struggle to be accepted by her peers. The way she feels about her place in the ballet, especially as a black girl in a sea of white girls in France. She's already playing in hard mode in the ballet due to that. When one is pushed so far, where do you go?

The story was compelling, I found the twists exciting. I'm a big fan of horror, and the body horror in here was wild and well described. Looking forward to more from Jamison Shea.
