The book of the month

 
Title: Shiny Broken Pieces
Authors: Sona Charaipotra & Dhonielle Clayton
Published: July 12th 2016 by HarperCollins



In the second and final book of the Tiny Pretty Things story it's the final year for June, Bette and Giselle in the American Ballet Company. Everyone in the class wants a place in the Conservatory but only four are going to make it. After what was done to Gigi in the first book she is out for blood. Bette only wants to reclaim her place and June, who struggles with her eating disorder, just wants to be the best. 


 My Musings 


I realize how vague this "summary" was, lmao. But if you haven't even read the book I can't go and spoil everything now, can I? I did think I had to mention the eating dissorder, as a warning.


I remember how dark the first book actually was. That's what I can really remember about it. How "bad" the characters were. In this one there was a bit of everything, I think. It was so weird to see the shifts in personality in the main characters. Like, the "mean" ones were almost now the "good" ones and vice versa. 

The character development is sooooooooooo good. You just can't help to empathize with Bette, June and even Gigi. 


It's really hard to put the book down because basically there is always something happening; almost as if it wasn't possible things took a turn for the worst. 

I think in this book my favorite was June, because of her battles, her passion, determination, and persistence. Her interactions with her mom, man <3

I definitely did not see the end coming but I am glad with how the authors wrapped it all up?Usually I tend to be whine about the end a story not being enough but I didn't feel that way with this one. It'd be cool to see where they are a few years ahead but if it doesn't happen then it's good too. 


I hope this made you curious enough to want to go check out the first book if you haven't read it! Please let me know if this has helped you or if you've read it already. What are your thoughts on this story if so? 

Hope to  ~see you soon, 

Ale!
