Shiny Broken Pieces: A Tiny Pretty Things Novel

Now a Netflix TV show! Featuring a diverse cast of characters, plenty of gossip, lies, and scandal, Shiny Broken Pieces continues with the soapy drama readers loved in Tiny Pretty Things.

June, Bette, and Gigi are competing one final time for a spot at the prestigious American Ballet Company. With the stakes higher than ever, these girls have everything to lose…and no one is playing nice.

June is starting to finally see herself as a prima ballerina. But being the best could mean sacrificing the love of her life. Legacy dancer Bette is determined to clear her name after she was suspended and accused of hurting her rival, Gigi. And Gigi is not going to let Bette—or the other dancers who bullied her—go unpunished.

It all comes down to this last dance. Who will make the cut? And who will lose her dream forever?

• Cutthroat Competition: Three dancers. One spot at the American Ballet Company. And a final performance where winning is everything.
• Secrets and Lies: Bette swears she didn’t push her rival, but Gigi remembers a shove. In the halls of this elite conservatory, the truth is just another weapon.
• Backstabbing Ballerinas: Gigi is back from her “accident,” and she’s not just looking to win—she’s looking for revenge on every dancer who wronged her.
• High-Stakes Teen Drama: From forbidden love to career-ending scandals, this elite boarding school has more drama off-stage than on. Perfect for fans of Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl.
