UNLOVELY

They look so soft and delicate, these beautiful girls from the fancy summer ballet school. But ugliness lies under the surface. Inspired by the ballet Giselle in which heartbroken ghosts extract revenge on duplicitous boys, some of these ballerinas have taken out punishment of their own.

Has Harley, the hometown boy back from college for summer break, put himself in danger by falling in love with one of these girls? Is Julian, the talented male ballerina, telling the truth about his sudden injury - perhaps it wasn't just an accident? In this atmospheric novel, set in a close-knit seaside town, values, class, and loyalty clash as lovely summer visitors engage in dark and unlovely acts.
