Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for an early release copy. 

Follow Jocelyn and the toxic environment of the ballerina, following all the tropes like weight and competition. Change enters Jocelyn's life too fast as Jocelyn moves in with fellow ballerina Arabella (for no logical reason) as she re enters the back into the drama of the ballet world.

I wanted to like this story, this idea but nothing ever fully felt flushed out.  There were so many different ideas and directions for Jocelyn that the author never fully committed to developing. It moved too fast for a slow burn but that would have been a better direction to go in.  Unfortunately I never felt like the author committed to what they wanted the book to do.  I think I kept looking for logic and it wasn’t anywhere in this story, which is definitely something that throws me off. For the reader, everytime Jocelyn met a new sexual conquest, she would pretty much have the same consistent conversation about her past. So the story would become repetitive without much progress. The details when Jocelyn reflects onto her ballet roles, previous and current, are the best written pieces.

The style of writing just wasn’t for me- it reminded me of when I read “50 Shades of Grey” which wasn’t for me either. If you’re looking for a book that just rushes through everything else to get to the “smutty” scenes, this could be for you but I couldn’t recommend based off the writing.
