Summary:
Imogen and her sister Marin escape their cruel mother to attend a prestigious performers’ retreat, but soon learn that living in a fairy tale requires sacrifices, whether art or like within this critically acclaimed debut novel from “an extraordinary young article writer” (Neil Gaiman, American Gods).
What would you sacrifice for all you ever imagined?
Imogen has grown up reading fairy tales about mothers who die and produce way for cruel stepmothers. As a child, she used to lie during intercourse wishing that her existence would become among these tragic fairy stories because she couldn’t imagine how a stepmother could be worse than her mother today. As adults, Imogen and her sister Marin are approved to at the very top post-grad arts program-Imogen as a article writer and Marin being a dancer. Soon enough, though, they recognize that there’s even more to the institution than meets the eye. Imogen might be living in the fairy tale she’s wished for as a kid, but it’s one which will pit her against Marin if she decides to escape her past to find her heart’s desire.
