This is one of the hardest books I've read in a while. I knew it was about a ballet dance and an eating discorder. But to be honest I wasn't properly prepared for the subject matter and impact of this book.
The story broke my heart and the fact that a war was started while I was reading this didn't help.
But if you can handle this book's subject matter I absolutely recommend it.

This was a great book. Once I started it it was hard to put down because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. Interesting all the way through. Now i need a book from Donovans pov so I know what happened to him when he was gone!

Speak meets Black Swan in this stunningly dramatic debut novel All that drama, plus pointe shoes? Yes, please: this is one book that’s bound to make a splash Theo is better now. She’s eating again, dating guys who are almost appropriate, and well on her way to becoming an elite ballet dancer. 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. Donovan 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. But keeping quiet might be worse.

There was a lot going on in this book. A lot of things that happened in this book I didn't "agree with" but I understood how it all happened the way it did. I am a little confused on the whole dance aspect of the story - i would have thought that a book named specifically after a type of dance would have more to do with dance. Instead, dance was more of a side detail. This book was pretty strong for me, but I ended up enjoying it.
