The Ballerinas by Rachel Kapelke-Dale

4.0

This one got off to a slow start for me. It took me longer than I would have liked to become invested in the characters or plot. I was intrigued by the mystery of the main characters’ past, but for some reason, I struggled a bit with the time jumps (honestly not sure why?). I think this book dove into some really important themes, and, aside from the pacing at the beginning, I enjoyed the author’s writing style. I found myself highlighting several quotes throughout the book. Overall, it wasn’t what I expected based on how it was marketed, but I enjoyed it nonetheless!
