The films are so prominent in my mind that I often have to stop and wonder if I'm remembering things wrong. There are so many cool additions that come from Edward's POV that we missed from just seeing Bella's. I love all that detail. It also makes me appreciate the writing process because I read the rough draft on Stephanie's website back in the day when she made it available and these two things are nothing alike. Reading this was sweet. It felt like strolling hand in hand with your sweetheart around the park where you got engaged on a ten year anniversary....more

If you're looking for closure in this ballet version of mean girls, you won't find it. What you will find is a bunch of really talented messed up kidsIf you're looking for closure in this ballet version of mean girls, you won't find it. What you will find is a bunch of really talented messed up kids and a story that will stay with you long after you've finished it. My favorite part is getting into the family dynamics of each character and figuring out how that has shaped the person they've become. There are secrets on top of secrets and even though the story is told in multiple perspectives that help you relate to each girl, there is still more to discover. I'd be surprised if you didn't itch to immediately pick up book two to see how everything works out. This would make an excellent teen tv drama! ...more

Even by the end of the book we haven't quite figured out why the hero can touch the heroine but you don't end up caring too much about that since the whole book is full of action. If you're an X-Men or X-Files fan then this is the series for you. Lots of mystery and secrets and there is more to come....more

I liked how this book turned everything around from book one. I also enjoyed the multiple perspectives. The mean girls don't consider themselves mean just ambitious. I'm not sure I'd want to hang out with any of them but the story is fascinating. The sad thing is, I don't think it's too far from the truth. This one will stay with you....more
