Alice thinks she’s accepted the loss of her ballet career from injury, until the day her boss asks her to befriend Lana, a pretty new company member he’s got his eye on. Lana desperately needs a friend, someone besides her mother, whose constant attention soon curdles into something more sinister. What follows is a friendship that risks destroying worlds they’d considered safe. Set amid the glittering backdrop of the professional ballet world, OFF BALANCE exposes the sweat and struggle, the mandate to sustain the illusion at all cost. $0.99 on Kindle.
