Tiny Pretty Things (Tiny Pretty Things, #1)

by Dhonielle Clayton and Sona Charaipotra

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. 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.

This book is filled with cruel and heartless girls, who are clawing their way to the top and taking out anyone who gets in their way. Wow! They were so sinister, yet sometimes, I found myself feeling bad for them. I found myself not wanting to stop listening, because I had to know what happened next. I gasped and was left slack jawed many times. My head is still spinning a little trying to nail down that ending. Deliciously addicting!
