jooke 's review for:

Bright Burning Stars by A.K. Small
4.0

This gripping and confronting story gives you some insight to how hard it is to make it in the ballet world, all the efforts, labor and sacrifices it takes. It is not just physically but also mentally draining and not all boys and girls are cut out to make it to the top, not matter how hard they try or want it.

As annoyed I was by the choices Marine and Kate made I also really felt for them. The pressure on their shoulders and the environment were not healthy and they were forced in this competition to become a winner or loose everything they worked so hard for in the last 6 years.
