faltering pirouettes

Everyone is dancing to a plan. Only one of them wrote the music.

Everyone believes Gladys is surviving.
They see the devoted sister working three jobs to save for her brother's treatment.
The determined young woman clawing her way through a brutal competition.
The girl who dances through tragedy with quiet grace.
But survival has never been Gladys' true talent.
Control is.
When Gladys stumbles upon a set of mysterious diaries belonging to Emily Bowers-the reclusive daughter of a powerful businessman-she finds something far more valuable than sympathy.
She finds leverage.
As secrets begin to intertwine with ambition, Gladys carefully choreographs a life where every move benefits her: the perfect boyfriend, the perfect victory, the perfect revenge against those who deserve it.
But every performance has an audience.
And somewhere behind the curtains, someone else has been pulling the strings all along.
In a world of quiet lies and calculated love, one truth remains:

When the music stops, even the most flawless dancer can be reduced to faltering pirouettes.
