In this verse novel, sixteen-year-old Sara is a new scholarship student at big-city Jersey Ballet, where she feels "every day / Is an audition." Unhappy, she falls into an intense sexual and creative relationship with older male dancer Remington. Sophisticated terminology and dance imagery speak to ballet insiders, while Sara's struggle to define herself and her dreams is relatable to everyone.
