A review by acdom
Second Position by Katherine Locke

4.0

First STOP and go read the prequel, Turning Pointe. I can't imagine reading this without having read the .5 first. Why it's not just the first few chapters, I don't know. Why, Katherine Locke, why?

Next, oh ballet. I love you. I love you so much.

I've been excited about this book for some time and I tried to not rush through it, as I usually do with books. Instead I limited myself to a few chapters a night, making it last for a week. I'm so glad I did because it was totally worth it.

Both of the characters, Aly and Zed, are kind of terrible in their own way. I wanted to punch them both, but also hug them (and feed Aly). They clearly make bad choices about their lives and relationships, but it's interesting to watch them work through it all. I especially loved the chapters where Aly was at therapy. The interactions between her and her therapist were funny and charming, and ultimately made her a better, healthier person.

Now to wait for the next book...
