"Skinny Love" by Birdy
I heard this song the day I finished Bunheads and it just really made me think of the book.

Add a Commenti really enjoyed this book!! it had a good balance of ballet and her semi-normal life. in a way, she's almost like any other teen with friend trouble, boy trouble, trying to find herself a comfortable place in her life, and her life as a dancer with competition, perseverance, and how friends are always on your side on top of all that! this book is really beautiful!
Story of a struggling Corps Ballet Dancer who must decide if she wants the lifestyle of a ballerina or a "pedestrian". The author is a former dancer herself and gives great insight to the ballet world. I truly enjoyed this book and getting to know the characters.
I Love this book. It gives you an insight look at the ballet world, its ups and downs. It's a well-written book.
Really good. It explains that ballet is not just tutus!!!!
Pretty good, 3.5 stars. Not a book that I couldn't put down, but I wanted to see what happened to the character in the end. Hannah wasn't the most relatable character though, I was a bit torn whether or not to like her. One minute she seemed likable, the next minute she didn't seem to care about anything. Accurately portrays the ballet world, but I liked Eva Ibbotson's "A Company of Swans", as a ballet book better.
The author can't really tell a story, leaving you w. only the crumbs of details about the ballet world. Read Toni Bentley's Winter Season if you really want to know about NY City Ballet.
You could tell that this was the young author's first book. I found it awkwardly written and it seemed to be a weakly concealed version of the author's own life experience, with a few details/names changed and some fantasy added. I guess it would be good for young teens, and if you love ballet you can probably overlook the bad writing.
Amazing! As a ballet dancer myself, It truley shows the real ballet world. It's not just about pink!
Great book, eye opening and really realistic too! :)
A very interesting book that gives the reader an in-depth and honest view about the world of ballet. The characters are very real, along with their lives. Great book about ballet.
