I am so torn on this book. Part of me wants to give it 2 stars and other parts 4. I wanted to love this book and I think the general overall premise I do. But it needs a serious editing overhaul. There are some grammatical errors, but mostly it's in the time line of the story. So many parts didn't make sense. There was a chapter where Tally walked into a rehearsal dinner and the next chapter was the wedding night with absolutely no transition. Also the lies and lack of family involvement was so unreal. Tally came from a pretty well off family and when she moved to NY and became a famous ballerina, not once did her family go. If they had they would have seen what her life was like. She made mention of never going home, but then there's a comment about the number of times she's been to he sister grave over the few years. That was at about the one year mark of her sister death. The whole books is about 4 years long but just so inconsistent. The story lines were a little over the top! If this were fixed I think I could give it 4 stars. I hate all the lying but I actually do get it to save their careers.
