Although I found this novel a tad slow, overall, I quite enjoyed following the drama and competitiveness that occurs in a ballet boarding school. The cast was diverse, which I appreciated, and the novel dealt with some serious issues. Narrated by three girls, Bette was determined to be the school's prima ballerina, Gigi was the newbie with a serious heart condition while June resorted to starvation and purging to stay slim. They battled against each other to win the lead role in each ballet performance and were quite vicious in their determination to be the star. From the start there was a huge amount of back-stabbing going on which made the three girls unlikeable. There was definitely no love loss between them! Drama, ruthlessness, sabotage, romance and secrets abounded. While I wasn't enthralled with the characters, I did enjoy the setting with all its dance references and the ugliness behind the beauty of a ballet performance. Dark, gritty and full of drama, "Tiny Pretty Things" was an entertaining read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Infuriating because this is part of a series but NONE of the storylines are resolved here. I'm not sure I care enough to read more books to see what happens.
