The Still Point was a fairly good mystery about ballet culture. As a fan of the show Dance Moms, I enjoyed seeing similar mom drama with the added mystery of a broken friendship and mysterious fire. This would be an excellent summer read for reality TV fans.

Dance Moms, but make it coastal California and take the drama out of the studio. This book is told through the POVs of 3 moms and 1 dancer, and each POV provides insight to a layer of the drama. I thought the characters were really well developed and enjoyed following each of their journeys. There was the obvious drama pooled with loneliness, love, loss and triumph. Really enjoyed!

Probably a 3.5, rounded up to 4 stars. It took me ages to read this, I was stalled out at 38% for like a month and a half when my library loan was returned, but I ended up borrowing it again and enjoyed it in the end. I’m always here for complicated female relationships and it has an absolutely stunning cover, which is truly the main reason I read it in the first place.
