Turning Pointe by Katherine Locke (The District Ballet Book 0.5)




This is a review of Turning Pointe by Katherine Locke. This will be a short review because this is a novella and not a full length novel. 

We are introduced to Zed and Aly in this book. Zed and Aly are two young ballet dancers who have bright careers in ballet ahead of them. They have been best friends since they were children and are now dance partners. They are just coming off a wildly successful European dance tour when they get the news that Aly is pregnant. After a doctor’s appointment, they are involved in a tragic car accident where both Aly and Zed end up in intensive care fighting for their lives. Once Aly awakens she learns that she has lost her baby and that Zed’s life is still hanging in the balance. She goes to see him in the ICU despite his parents not wanting her there. She sees Zed intubated and with his jaw wired shut and still fighting for his life and she vows to be there for him. 

My recommendation: This is a must read before reading Second Positon and Finding Center which are the two books that follow this one.
