4.0

Theo lives for ballet but when her best friend who has been missing for four years returns home, Theo must grapple with her old demons or risk her future ballet career. Can she handle

the secrets and the trauma she carries with her? This novel handles some very hard topics with grace and nuance. Theo is an unreliable narrator, and as we come to understand the truth, so does she. Content warnings: sexual abuse, pedophilia, eating disorders.
