heatheryandziak 's review for:

The Ballerinas by Rachel Kapelke-Dale
2.0

I picked this book because anything with dancing as the subject brings me nostalgia and naturally draws me in. But this book was not great, it took me over half the book to even figure out what the book was about, and I feel like it took it a really long time to get to any kind of a point. It still had every ballet story cliche woven through it, but almost in a lazy way that didn't really bring anything extra to the story. I thought this one going to be more of a murder mystery but it was more just rambling history of some girls in a ballet company.
