Have you
ever worked your entire life to achieve something only to have it taken away in
an instant? Anastasia Mikhelson, a principal dancer with the prestigious City
Ballet, is beyond fuming with newcomer, Natalie Federico, a free spirit, is
hired to share a lead role in a new ballet. Natalie had trained with the City
Ballet school when she was younger, but quit when she realized that she was not
suited to the rigid technique and form needed to become a prima ballerina. Now
cast together, these two must learn to meld their styles--Ana's precise
technique with Natatlie's passion--and dance like they've never danced before.
From the
first day, sparks fly and not in a good way. Ana cannot believe that Natalie
threw away a chance to train with City Ballet and yet, here she was being cast
as a principal dancer. Life wasn't fair and Ana wants nothing to do with
Natalie. I found both characters to be believable and could immerse myself in
their world. Ms. Brayden does an excellent job of letting the reader in to each
girl's head. While each girl begins to have an effect on each other, I could
feel their pain, anguish and triumph. I've loved stories about the world of
ballet and "First Position" is a wonderful peek inside this world. No
spoilers here--read the book and find out what happens when opposites are
thrown together and sparks fly. Recommended.
I received
a copy of this book for a fair and honest review.
