When It All Syncs Up by Maya Ameyaw

3.0

This gave me some serious “Backstage” vibes, and while I appreciate what the author was going for, the entire vibe was rather melodramatic. I feel like they were hoping to achieve too much here, as there are A LOT of plot points, and the story didn’t really feel finished. I love that the story spotlights a young, black ballerina dealing with the pressures that come with wanting to be successful in her art form, but it generally just seemed like too much, I really feel like if they gave the MC ONE trauma to deal with and focused solely on that one, then the story met seem more complete than it currently does.
I was given an ARC by NetGalley and Annick Press. All opinions are my own.
