Shiny Broken Pieces: A Tiny Pretty Things Novel: The Netflix YA Ballet Drama?Three Dancers, One Spot, Everything to Lose

Now a Netflix TV show! Featuring a diverse cast of characters, plenty of gossip, lies, and scandal, Shiny Broken Pieces continues with the soapy drama readers loved in Tiny Pretty Things.

June, Bette, and Gigi are competing one final time for a spot at the prestigious American Ballet Company. With the stakes higher than ever, these girls have everything to lose…and no one is playing nice.

June is starting to finally see herself as a prima ballerina. But being the best could mean sacrificing the love of her life. Legacy dancer Bette is determined to clear her name after she was suspended and accused of hurting her rival, Gigi. And Gigi is not going to let Bette—or the other dancers who bullied her—go unpunished.

It all comes down to this last dance. Who will make the cut? And who will lose her dream forever?

• Teen Rivalry: June, Bette, and Gigi were once rivals. Now they’re enemies. With a spot at the American Ballet Company on the line, they’ll do whatever it takes to win.
• Secrets and Lies: Bette swears she didn’t hurt Gigi, but someone did. In a world built on backstabbing, uncovering the truth could destroy them all.
• Sabotage: From doctored pills to career-ending “accidents,” the dancers at the American Ballet Conservatory will stop at nothing to be the best.
• Gossip and Scandal: Perfect for fans of the Netflix series and readers who love YA thrillers packed with ambition, backstabbing, and shocking twists.
