Beskrivning
Black Swan meets Pretty Little Liars in this soapy, drama-packed novel featuring diverse characters who will do anything to be the prima at their elite ballet school. Gigi, Bette, and June, three top students at an exclusive Manhattan ballet school, have seen their fair share of drama. Free-spirited new girl Gigi just wants to dance-but the very act might kill her. Privileged New Yorker Bette's desire to escape the shadow of her ballet-star sister brings out a dangerous edge in her. And perfectionist June needs to land a lead role this year or her controlling mother will put an end to her dancing dreams forever. When every dancer is both friend and foe, the girls will sacrifice, manipulate, and backstab to be the best of the best.

Recensioner i media

"A page-turner with a heart." -- Kirkus Reviews "Appealing both to dancers and drama lovers, this engaging, pulpy read skillfully explores a variety of issues, from sexual orientation to ethnic identity to single-parent households, in a glamorous, high-stakes setting." -- Booklist "Diversity is organically spotlighted [in this] fun and fast read." -- School Library Journal "A beautiful example of diversity in characters and settings." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) "Charaipotra and Clayton skillfully craft three distinctive, complex characters. This enticing glimpse into the ballet world is rich with detail and drama as the authors highlight its glamour and darkness." -- Publishers Weekly It's impossible not to get sucked in, and the cast of characters is so diverse and fully realized, you root even for the nastiest of them. -- Francesca Zappia, author of Made You Up
