Various Positions by Martha Schabas

2.0

I was interested in this book because I am a dancer. It was very well written, however, I found that Georgia and nearly all of the other characters are unlikable, with the most consistently likable character ending up estranged from Georgia by the end of the book. The subject material material that this book deals with is very serious, and it shows a different side. This usually creates an interesting and refreshing read, however, it caused me to dislike Georgia greatly. She made some very stupid decisions that ruined other lives around her. It seems that this could have been caused by her home life, but nothing is ever truly explained and the ending leaves the reader wanting more. Overall, the pretense is quite interesting, but the way the story is developed leaves the reader wishing that they had never picked up the book at all.
