The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma #BookReview

 
On the outside, there's Violet, an eighteen-year-old dancer days away from the life of her dreams when something threatens to expose the shocking truth of her achievement.

On the inside, within the walls of the Aurora Hills juvenile detention center, there's Amber, locked up for so long she can't imagine freedom.

Tying their two worlds together is Orianna, who holds the key to unlocking all the girls' darkest mysteries…

What really happened on the night Orianna stepped between Violet and her tormentors? What really happened on two strange nights at Aurora Hills? Will Amber and Violet and Orianna ever get the justice they deserve—in this life or in another one?

In prose that sings from line to line, Nova Ren Suma tells a supernatural tale of guilt and of innocence, and of what happens when one is mistaken for the other.

This book mostly revolves around female friendships both in prisons and in the world of ballet. I personally don't mind reading about this, but it you don't like reading about twisted and and disturbed minds then I would stay away from this one. There were some unreliable narrators that kept me on the edge of my seat. And along with the amazing writing of this book, MIND BLOW. Although I must say that I wasn't totally sold on the ending though. Overall this was a great read! I wouldn't recommend this for everyone, but like I said if you like twisted and disturbed minds then I would absolutely pick this one up!
