Astonish Me by Maggie Shipstead

4.0

Really enjoyed this one. I know that Shipstead took a lot of actual history, and actual people of the dance world, and put them in a fiction blender to pop out these characters, but I still loved it. I didn't really know too much about the dance world (although I have read articles about Baryshnikov's defection), so this was a great intro. And then of course I had to watch The Turning Point. Anyway! This book is great. The end I'm not in love with, but up until then it's solid.
