This book is exactly what I have been looking for. This book centers around the would of ballet and dance, while telling a heartbreaking story of family and the AIDS epidemic. It felt honest, brave, and it was evident from the first scene that it was written by a ballerina. This is the only book I have read that truly encapsulates what life is like as a dancer without glamorizing or sexualizing it. It was so deeply special. I listened to it as an audiobook, but I need to buy a copy of my own to annotate. A MUST read for dancers.
