I tried many times to get into this book. I read half of it before dropping it. The book has enjoyable parts but did not manage to keep me engaged long term.

Thank you to the publisher for the e-ARC of this book. Elinor's story is one that I think many children can unfortunately relate to. Her mother's desire for her to be a prima ballerina neglects one key element - Elinor doesn't want to dance. Her mother is a bully, using her legal prowess to push around everyone she encounters, and doesn't stop when she gets to Elinor. I wish the book had gone a little further to show Elinor's conversation with her mother in the end, but understand all too well that those conversations don't always provide the happy ending we might want.
