#LTKStyleTip #LTKShoeCrush

How I wind down after a late night of teaching dance:

1. Phone to bed right when I walk in the door (I stick it in this UV sanitizer for a nice bath 🧼)
2. Hot shower with lavender body wash
3. Read in bee (blue light glasses for the kindle!)
4. Red light mask for 10 minutes

This month’s brainy ballerina book club pick is set against the glitz and glamour of Radio City Music Hall, following 19-year-old Marion Brooks as she lands her first gig as a pro dancer with the legendary Radio City Rockettes.

As she grapples with the intensity of trying to meet the exacting standards of being a Rockette, her personal life is, by contrast, in complete shambles. Not to mention, she finds herself unexpectedly pulled into the search for a madman who has been terrorizing the citizens of NYC for 16 years.

A master of historical fiction, Fiona Davis has meticulously researched every last detail, making the story that much richer. The number of twists and turns she takes us on is mind-boggling. Just when I thought I had the story figured out - I was shocked again. 🤯

Grab your copy and get ready for a page-turner!
