A review by msnicolelee
The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma

4.0

I really enjoyed this tale comprised of two intertwined narratives- that of a spoiled, murderous, teenage ballerina and that of an incarcerated teenager. You may figure out the twist early on as I did, but this will not make this any less enjoyable or interesting. There are not often novels published depicting the emotional lives of young women incarcerated and this was a refreshing, if at times heartbreaking, aspect of this title. The story also ends with an incredibly satisfying, if somewhat unexpected and fantastical, bit of justice/revenge at the end that left me teary eyed and smiling. Recommended.
