About the Book

Originally published in the United States of America by G.P. Putnam's Son, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA) in 2014.

Book Synopsis

A "gritty and raw" (Parade) story that will transport readers into the intriguing and demanding world of elite ballet.
"A victory for young people, especially young women, everywhere."--Chicago Tribune
"An extraordinary book."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Beautiful, sharp, and memorable."--Courtney Summers, author of Cracked Up to Be

First he stole her heart. Then he took her friend. Now she knows the truth.

Theo is better now. She's eating again, dating guys who are almost appropriate, and well on her way to becoming an elite ballet dancer. But when her oldest friend, Donovan, returns home after spending four long years with his kidnapper, Theo starts reliving memories about his abduction--and abductor. Donovan isn't talking about what happened, and even though Theo knows she didn't do anything wrong, telling the truth would put everything she's been living for at risk. But keeping quiet might be worse
