Description Toward Books Tiny Pretty Things (Tiny Pretty Things #1)
Soon to be a Netflix TV show! 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. From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Belles, Dhonielle Clayton, and the author of the highly anticipated Symptoms of a Heartbreak, Sona Charaipotra. 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. Don’t miss the gossip, lies, and scandal that continues in Tiny Pretty Things’ gripping sequel, Shiny Broken Pieces!Itemize Based On Books Tiny Pretty Things (Tiny Pretty Things #1)

Backstabbing Ballerinas.These books are so intense. This is my favorite contemporary series for a reason.I love all the girls, because they're all terrible. Well, not Gigi - not yet.Bette and Sei-Jin are "mean girls", but not your stereotypical mean girls. June is silent and dangerous. Gigi is a good person, but this school brings out the worst in everyone.The only complaint I have is that I didn't like the romance. Alec is dull and I do not understand what Bette and Gigi see in him.This was an entertaining story about a bunch of competitive/mean girl/borderline homicidal ballerinas. Think Black Swan meets Gossip Girls. These girls are obsessed with a) getting the best part in the latest ballet, b) making sure their competitors don't get the best part in the latest ballet and c) their -- and each other's -- appearances. Not sure I've ever read a book where characters not in love with/in lust with each other spent so much time talking and thinking about how the other
3.5/5 stars I feel like I'm so torn about this book. On the one hand, the story is so interesting and turns very mysterious. The cast is incredibly diverse and the book deals with a lot of really big issues. The unreliable narrators made for an added interesting element to the story. But books about girl drama and girls being awful to each other just rubs me the wrong way always. I've never been a part of the dance community so I don't know exactly how competitive it is, but the drama just felt
Back when Tiny Pretty Things released, there weren't that many reviews nor hype for it which is why it got lost in the endless backlog in my tbr. Then one of my good friends read it a few months ago and this particular line from Sue's review was what pulled me in: "Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton redefines the term unlikable heroines." WHAT? Ballet? Unlikable heroines? WHERE DO I SIGN UP was my immediate reaction. The first book is extremely brutal (and can be triggering, so please
Setting this aside around 50 pages or so. I liked the descriptions of dance, and the fact that the girls represent a variety of different ethnic backgrounds--some of them are even spot-on in describing subtle cultural and parental pressures. But I dunno, the backstabby thing starts right off the bat and is in every chapter, and it's hard to get a handle on that or even care when you haven't gotten to know anyone yet, and when there are so many in this cast of characters--and when the
Tiny Pretty Things was everything it promised it would bedark, intense, dramatic. And, it was all the things I didnt expect it to bediverse, real, scary. When a book promises me a mix of Pretty Little Liars and Black Swan, obviously Im going to finish the book in a single sitting. And I did. And I loved it, goddammit.The book follows the three best dancersBette, June and Gigiof a Manhattan ballet school that trains its students to enter the American Ballet Company. It is an exclusive school,
