At the start of the book, after her mother tries to kill her, Ariel’s greatest fear is that nothing is ever going to be the same again. Her feelings about this – nothing being the same again – will change over the course of the story, but at the beginning, this is how she feels.

Excerpt from Ariel: Dancing on TV

It’s the night before I’m due to start at the most prestigious dance school in Scotland, so, of course, my mother tries to kill me.

She’s always done horrible things at moments that matter, but up until now, she mainly just used words. Psychological abuse is easier to hide from others. I always told myself that was worse: the secret cruelty.

But I was wrong. This is worse. This means nothing can ever be the same again.
