What's Yours Is Mine

A Novel

De: Jennifer Jabaley

Narrado por: Ann Marie Gideon

Determined daughters. Controlling mothers. There’s no such thing as friendly competition in a twisty novel of suspense about ambition, revenge, and unrealized dreams.

Valerie Yarnell is a hardworking single mother who’d do anything for her daughter, Kate. Kate is a dancer with dreams of stardom, just like her talented best friend, Colette. Despite Valerie’s sacrifices, it’s Colette’s mother, former prima ballerina Elise, whom Kate adores. And Colette has become like the practically perfect sister Kate never had. How can Valerie not feel frustrated, ineffectual, and a little jealous of the queen bee of dance moms? Not only has she hijacked her daughter, but Elise is married to the man Valerie pines for.

Rivalries are forming. Tension is mounting. In preparation for an elite dance competition, Kate outshines the more promising Colette onstage, and the pressure is on for Colette to keep her position in the spotlight—and especially to keep her demanding mother happy. Who could have foreseen the violent attack that sabotages everything? Anyone who’s been watching closely.

As ruthless and sinister ambitions are exposed, a media firestorm and an explosive town scandal erupt. Before it’s over, two mothers and two daughters will learn just how fierce and dangerous a rivalry can still get.

Great book

Wow! Teenage girls are very challenging! And very dramatic! But add psycho mothers in the mix and oh my goodness! This book was intense. Definitely held my interest.

Really good book

Unpredictable ending. Loved the cast of characters and their roles in the story. Great read.

Excellent book!

Great read! I loved it! It was twisty, fun, easy read. I was happy with the ending, the twist and that everyone got what they should. Those are the kind of endings I like! I did guess the ending but I still liked it. I would have like an epilogue to see more into what happened in the future. The narrator was great. Loved it and would def recommend!

Such a good thriller!

My thoughts 💭

If you like Dance Mom’s then this book is for you but with a twist. I started this book knowing nothing about it and I ate this book up.

The story follows two teenage best friends Colette and Kate and their moms Valerie and Elsie. Elsie is obsessed with her daughter’s dance achievements while Valerie is a mom just trying to understand and reconnect with her daughter.

This book had friendly completion that turns the besties into rivals. It was very entertaining from the very beginning. The twist in this book was NOT what I thought at all but I loved it.

Highly recommend this book! 💖

I liked the Multi POVs

I enjoyed this full of drama read. I liked the multiple POVs - one of the main characters didn’t have a POV which I thought was very interesting. This one is perfect for all those folks that love the reality tv shows about competitive dance.

Amazing book!

I couldn’t put it down! When I couldn’t listen to it, I was wondering what would happen next! I loved this book!
