WOW, this book pulled no emotional punches. I loved Theo. I loved that this went so, so far beyond "ballet dancer with an eating disorder," and I loved how complex it was with regards to sex and love and consent. There are a lot of really important issues addressed in this book, but they all feel organic and important to the plot, rather than "issue novel-y." I loved how diverse it was and how it addressed Theo's feelings about navigating the white-heavy worlds of the suburbs and ballet classes.

Perhaps most importantly--damn, it was a page turner!! Recommended to fans of Laurie Halse Anderson, Sara Zarr, and other emotionally intense contemporary fiction.
