Why read it?
1 author picked They're Going to Love You as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This luminous novel, written by former professional Joffrey Ballet dancer, Meg Howrey, follows the life of a dancer, beginning in NYC’s West Village in the 1980s.
It is a beautifully written rumination on not only dance but ambition, family, and secrets as well. Meg and I met for the first time when my daughter had just started on her pre-professional path, and her writing about dance is unmatched.
From T.'s list on both the darkness and beauty of ballet.
