I can understand that not all books have to be as gritty and realistic as this one, because there are many different realities, as many as people are out there, but everything needs to be represented! We need to see and experiments the good, the bad and the ugly, and seeing it in a book is the safest way possible to do so!Pilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235628363081574896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-28130438031214618632015-03-04T21:36:48.071+01:002015-03-04T21:36:48.071+01:00I am someone who loves reading ballet books too, s...I am someone who loves reading ballet books too, so this one has caught my eye before and is currently on my TBR. I love the cover to it, but it seems like it has more of a nitty gritty subject matter and that it isn't watered down at all. But that is something I like to see in my books :DOlivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-9251563696557134262015-03-01T22:07:11.338+01:002015-03-01T22:07:11.338+01:00I'm glad this book doesn't shy away from t...I'm glad this book doesn't shy away from the heavy stuff. Sometimes I feel like books tend to be too elusive, they like to hide things because they don't think we can handle it. We can! We can! It's a bit realistic this way. Some books paint life to be all flowers and bunnies, it's not though. Whoa I'm getting depressing. Sorry hun. I love this review though! I am captivated by anything with ballet too :) Lovely review hun, so glad you enjoyed this!

She talked about the Nutcracker ballet, I went to see it and it reignited by love for it again! I did ballet for a pair of years as a preteen/teen but stopped when I was 14, I chose regular academia to the demanding schedules of ballet.<br /><br />And yay for reading two books in March! You've been so busy as of late that I'm not surprised you missed this one, I nearly miss it myself! *hugs*Pilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235628363081574896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-9504538749973231102015-03-01T08:59:05.927+01:002015-03-01T08:59:05.927+01:00A bit of a cheesy pun, but not too bad!

I missed February. I haven't missed a month since we started this almost a year ago, and I'm disappointed that I missed this month's recommendation.

It sounds like one of those books that have layers of depth and talk about issues many others shy away from but still need to be heard nonetheless. Edgy and gritty is how I like my contemporaries to be!
