Swan Dive

(3.5, rounding up) I love the narrative voice of this book - I really want to go have a drink with Gina Pazcoguin now and get even more backstage-at-the-ballet stories. I wish the narrative had been a little more sequential, since I'm not familiar with her career and as a result I wasn't really sure what happened when, which isn't the biggest deal, but did get a little confusing at times. I also wanted a little more about everything that happened with the former director and some of the male dancers, which is all alluded to but not really directly addressed. Despite all that, I really did enjoy this! It was gossipy and fun and not at all taking itself seriously. Super-fast read and definitely worth the time.
