Review

After I read the first part, I wanted to read this part right away, but unfortunately, I had to wait until this book would be in stores again. The last book kind of ended with an open ending, so I was really curious about how this story would end. Unfortunately, I found the previous book very disappointing, which made me a bit scared to read the second part. I’m so happy that I can say that I really enjoyed the second part. In Tiny Pretty Things I thought that the writing style was a bit boring. It was also a bit violent, which wasn’t the case in Shiny Broken Pieces.

I read this book very quickly, unlike Tiny Pretty Things. In the first part, I was very annoyed that you read each chapter from the different perspectives of June, Bette and Gigi. When I read this book I had no problem with this at all. More and more happened in each chapter, making you so curious that you read through the story very quickly.

While I was reading this book I wondered how the story would end. I hoped that I would get the answers to all of my questions. Fortunately, these questions got answered and the story ended how I expected it to end. You get more and more hints as you read on until you finally get the answers that you have been craving for a long time.

Conclusion

A great book that you read very quickly. This book answers all your unsolved questions. A great read for people who like stories about ballet or thrillers.
