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.

Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments I'll be starting this in the next couple days!

No idea what it's about and have never heard of the authors.. Going in blind but it has been on my TBR for a while!

Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments I got through about 60% of this yesterday. I’m really liking it.. The world building or setting the scene is very detailed and the characters are interesting and fun to follow. I feel like I’m waiting for something bad to happen and maybe it’s coming any minute


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments Chapter 26 (view spoiler)

Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments Chapter 39 (view spoiler)


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments All done! 4 Stars for me! That ending definitely left a lot to be imagined.. I feel very invested in these girls' lives and I MUST read the next one to find out what happens.


Karen Barber | 13279 comments Prologue sets up the cut-throat environment quickly. Been meaning to read this for ages.


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments Let me know if you'd like to read the next one after you finish this one!


Karen Barber | 13279 comments Up to ch5. Don’t know how people survive such pressurised environments.


Karen Barber | 13279 comments Up to ch7. I always admired those who made ballet look easy, but each of them has their own pressures on this story.


Karen Barber | 13279 comments Up to ch13. Not sure how people can be so focused as to injure themselves willingly.


Karen Barber | 13279 comments Up to ch20. Everyone knows about Bette, but why aren’t they doing anything about her?


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments Karen wrote: "Up to ch20. Everyone knows about Bette, but why aren’t they doing anything about her?"

Right I feel like these girls were getting away with murder and no one was doing anything about it


Karen Barber | 13279 comments Up to ch28. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was a murder! They’re all quite mentally/ emotionally fragile. Not sure what’s ‘pretty’ about them.


Karen Barber | 13279 comments Up to ch40. I’m torn between being horrified and amazed by the behaviour described. Such a weird world.


Karen Barber | 13279 comments Finished. Review on home page. (view spoiler)

Hi guys, this is actually the wrong thread to post in :) This was set up for the Group Buddy Read and is specifically used for that. Please use the regular Buddy read thread found at: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

If you could just move your comments over to that one it would be great :) Thank you! Sorry for the confusion!


Akshita | 1101 comments Oops sorry. :P
I'll move my comments.
