Ballet thriller!
Superstitious , artifacts, resentful…

A giveaway win from @jordys.book.club. So exciting! Thank you!

19yo identical twins Olivia and Clara “Marionetta” (née Smith) are both ballerinas dancing for the Vic-Wells Ballet in 1933 London.

A tale of obsessive love and new beginnings. What happens when one twin gets a marriage proposal? What happens when only one twin gets the career offer of a lifetime? What happens when one twin wonders if she is “talented enough, strong enough, beautiful enough, without her sister to reflect back on her? Without her twin, she might be just ordinary Olivia Smith again.”

Thank you to Union Square & Co & Jordy for this entertaining read!
