Happy Pub Day to The Ballerinas!
“If you don’t risk anything, you risk everything”
Dancers Delphine, Margaux, and Lindsay have spent their entire lives training and performing at the Paris Opera Ballet. Their friendship with one another and a shared passion for perfection binds them and propels them through the downright brutal world of the POB, in-spite of the unavoidable fact that they are each other’s direct competition.
Fourteen years ago, something happened which drove Delphine to abandon her coveted spot with the company. Now, returning to Paris to choreograph a new ballet, Delphine hopes she can pick things up right where she left them. But perhaps too much has changed, perhaps some secrets are too heavy to carry forever…
Alternating between the trio's adolescent years and the present day, The Ballerinas, while perhaps slow at the beginning, is an enjoyable read, rife with drama. And it’s especially perfect for anyone who grew up dreaming of being a Ballerina, has spent their life performing, or just wants to spend a little time in Paris
