Speak meets Black Swan in this stunningly dramatic debut novel

All that drama, plus pointe shoes? Yes, please: this is one book that's bound to make a splash

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 his 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.

Speechless...This novel is full of suspense, emotion, and secrets. You truly will not want to put it down until you know the truth. But this book also speaks to courage and what is means and takes to be your true special self. A must-read for sure!

I didn’t read the synopsis before reading. Wasn’t expecting the story to go in the direction it did.

The main character stresses me out.
I was so frustrated the whole time reading this.
This happens in real life and it makes me so mad.
