A review by lcrou002
The Ballerinas by Rachel Kapelke-Dale
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review
There was a lot about this book that I really enjoyed. Such as the intimate look into the lives of these impressive athletes and the multiple timelines which kept the pace exciting. I liked Delphine's narrative voice and inner monologue.
What I didn't like was the huge build up to The Thing that Delphine and Margaux did which I definitely saw coming and the huge role that having children ended up playing near the end of the story.
Overall I think it was good, only I didn't like it as much as I had hoped I would. I was not this book's ideal reader but I am sure it is something that others will enjoy greatly.
