What’s Yours Is Mine immediately drew me in from the first page. Such a great blend of characters you loved, characters you wanted to pull for, and characters you were compelled to loathe.
I didn’t guess the ending and was truly questioning everyone’s innocence the entire time. Jabaley did a great job of weaving in suspense and building a story of characters with such depth. A fast-paced great read.

What's Your is Mine tells the story of Colette and Kate, two best friends who are dancers with big dreams. But Colette's mom, Elise, has even bigger dreams and is determined to push her daughter to stardom. When their friendship slowly turns to a rivalry over a big dance competition, things get dark very quickly.
This book is a peek into the dark world of competitive dance. The lengths that Elise pushed Colette to in order to "beat" her best friend is a bit nauseating. The fact that those kind of things actually happen is even more so. I really, REALLY disliked Elise as a whole. There really wasn't any redeeming quality to be found. She pushed her daughter to the point of anxiety attacks and treated the rest of her family like they were just background characters in the "Elise and Colette show". She's a great character to hate. Lol! Kate's mom, Valerie, is the opposite end of the spectrum and worries about the pressure her daughter is under. The author did a great job of showing the mind games that go on and just how easily someone can be persuaded to believe things, whether it's true or not. The ending did come as a surprise and I won't lie and say it didn't hurt my heart just a little bit! I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinions.

WHAT'S YOURS IS MINE is a penetrating look into the world of dance moms and one, in particular, who would do anything - anything! - to give her daughter an edge over the competition. Fast-paced and riveting, this novel has an ending that surprised even me.

OH. MY. GOSH What a fast paced, incredibly interesting glimpse into the intricacies of complicated moms and competitive girls! Even for non-sports fans will love this funny read! I was especially surprised with the twist at the end! You must read this!

What's Yours Is Mine follows Valerie and her teenage daughter Kate. Kate is a teenager being a teenager, but Valerie can't help but feel she's failed as a parent. She enrolled her daughter in a dance studio as a child, and she's grown up to be self-absorved and obsessed with the lifestyle. On top of that, Kate idolises Elise, her best friend Colette's mum. Elise is privileged and not the best role model out there. Valerie relies on her best friend Jazmin for comfort, so when Chad, Kate's father comes back to their lives, Valerie opens up to her in ways that maybe she shouldn't have. Are the other mums in the studio as bad as they seem? Will Elise do anything to make Colette a star? What happened to Chad?
This was a fantastic read! I don't have anyexposure to the dance world, so it was fun to learn all about it. I did guess the villian from the start, probably because I read a lot of thrillers, which made the ending incredibly satisfying. The last three chapters are incredible!!

Propulsive, suspenseful, and textured with dancing world atmosphere, What’s Yours Is Mine had me roped in from the first page. This story about rivalry between two teenage dancers, exacerbated by their controlling mothers, who might not be entirely aware—or are perhaps ignoring—that there is a difference between wanting the best for their daughters and pursuing their own unfulfilled ambitions, until an unexpected turn of events demands the final reckoning for all, will have you turning pages, missing bus stops, and losing sleep. I could not put it down! Highly recommend this amazing book!

This book really caught me off guard! I’m usually great at predicting twists, but the ending completely surprised me. It was unexpected in the best way—definitely worth a read!!

Really enjoyed Jennifer Jabaley’s What’s Yours is Mine. Loved the overall style and voice. The multi-character perspectives kept me engaged and guessing. A subtle menacing tone develops as the plot fleshes out and it kept me turning the pages. Great twist at the end which I did not see coming! Overall a fantastic read.

Immersing, sexy, and suspenseful. A well-written story with round and relatable characters and a gripping plot. Can't wait to see what Jabaley writes next.
