Interpretation Toward Books Tiny Pretty Things (Tiny Pretty Things #1)
Soon to be a Netflix TV show! Black Swan meets Pretty Little Liars in this soapy, drama-packed novel featuring diverse characters who will do anything to be the prima at their elite ballet school. From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Belles, Dhonielle Clayton, and the author of the highly anticipated Symptoms of a Heartbreak, Sona Charaipotra. Gigi, Bette, and June, three top students at an exclusive Manhattan ballet school, have seen their fair share of drama. Free-spirited new girl Gigi just wants to dance—but the very act might kill her. Privileged New Yorker Bette's desire to escape the shadow of her ballet-star sister brings out a dangerous edge in her. And perfectionist June needs to land a lead role this year or her controlling mother will put an end to her dancing dreams forever. When every dancer is both friend and foe, the girls will sacrifice, manipulate, and backstab to be the best of the best. Don’t miss the gossip, lies, and scandal that continues in Tiny Pretty Things’ gripping sequel, Shiny Broken Pieces!Mention Books Supposing Tiny Pretty Things (Tiny Pretty Things #1)

4.5 Stars!this book did not deserve to be DNFed, probably.I also officially made A Discovery. You know what that discovery is? I love moral ambiguity and I also hate petty drama. You know what I like? Feuds of two characters on opposing sides of a moral quandry in which both win and lose. You know what I definitely do not like and would like to never see again in my reading? Pettiness between the Mean Girl and the Slightly Less Mean Girl.You know what creates some weird connotations? The fact that both
This was truly amazing!In Tiny Pretty Things we follow these three girls that go to an elite ballet school. Bette, who's older sister is kind of a legend and she's trying to follow in her footsteps. June, a half-Korean girl that suffers from an eating disorder and has always been the understudy. And Gigi, a black girl that just moved from California and is quickly rising to the top. These girls can get very competitive and things get intense!My favorite thing about this book was how flawed the
Back when Tiny Pretty Things released, there weren't that many reviews nor hype for it which is why it got lost in the endless backlog in my tbr. Then one of my good friends read it a few months ago and this particular line from Sue's review was what pulled me in: "Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton redefines the term unlikable heroines." WHAT? Ballet? Unlikable heroines? WHERE DO I SIGN UP was my immediate reaction. The first book is extremely brutal (and can be triggering, so please
(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to HarperCollins and Edelweiss.) The Sugar Plum Fairy has farthest to fall. Wow! This book was certainly pretty cut-throat! And there was so much back-stabbing going on!I liked the characters in this book, although they all seemed to do crazy things at times, and to take massive risks to get what they wanted. Bette was blood-thirsty, Gigi ignored her heart condition, and June flirted with anorexia, and all
DNF I'm really tired of posting full reviews for DNF's. So I've decided to post a mini review. This is a case of 'It not you but me.' This book is too dramatic for my taste. I have yet to find a ballet book that works for me. I recommend this to contemporary fans who like lots of drama in their contemporaries.
Setting this aside around 50 pages or so. I liked the descriptions of dance, and the fact that the girls represent a variety of different ethnic backgrounds--some of them are even spot-on in describing subtle cultural and parental pressures. But I dunno, the backstabby thing starts right off the bat and is in every chapter, and it's hard to get a handle on that or even care when you haven't gotten to know anyone yet, and when there are so many in this cast of characters--and when the
