She’s such a disaster, with so many unresolved issues and shattered self-esteem, but she’s also strong and a genuinely good person. And while it is a lot to pack into a relatively short book, the author pulls it together really well, and has come up with a hard hitting, serious book, but one that I think is important. It includes an abduction case, rape, drug use, eating disorders, cheating and honesty, and a bunch of other hard topics, but ones that are true for teens these days. What I ended up with was a book that was about quite a bit more than dance. Seeing the title and the cover, I assumed it was a book about dance, which sounded really nice, so I dove into it without really reading the synopsis. It was one of those books I’d gotten as an e-copy at a discount or for free or something like that, and had just forgotten on my Kobo for a while. I picked this book up because I was trying to drag myself out of a reading slump and wanted something enjoyable. But when her oldest friend, Donovan, returns home after spending four long years with his kidnapper, Theo starts reliving memories about his abduction-and his abductor.ĭonovan isn’t talking about what happened, and even though Theo knows she didn’t do anything wrong, telling the truth would put everything she’s been living for at risk. She’s eating again, dating guys who are almost appropriate, and well on her way to becoming an elite ballet dancer.
