This is book one of the 'Best of Booktok' Academy of Stardom series by Bea Paige author with gangsters who can dance and their girl Pen.
From the gutter to the stars...
Dance is in my blood. It's what keeps me sane, out of trouble.
It used to keep them out of trouble too.
A group of boys I grew up with. Xeno, York, Zayn and Dax.
We were a crew once and we ruled the clubs. Separate we were insanely good, together we were unbeatable.
F*&ing on fire.
I was their girl and they were my Breakers.
Until they did something they promised they never would; break my heart.
We were seventeen when they left me. You see, for kids like us, dance was all we had. Growing up in a rundown housing estate in London with no prospects can make you view the world differently. It can make you choose the wrong path.
I chose dance, and they chose crime.
Three years later I've won a scholarship to Stardom Academy. I try to forget my past.
But how can I do that when the four boys who hurt me are back? And this time they're following in my footsteps and joining the academy too.
