What’s Yours is Mine is a compelling read that strikes a great balance between mystery and realism. The suspense builds steadily, keeping you engaged with just the right amount of twists, while the story also explores modern, relatable themes like privacy, trust, and personal boundaries. It’s thought-provoking without losing its grip on the tension, making it a satisfying psychological thriller with depth

This novel beautifully balances the intensity of ambition with the messy, fragile ties of family, making it impossible to put down. It’s a thrilling, heartbreaking look at how far people will go when dreams and desire collide.

A gripping and twisty psychological thriller. What's Yours Is Mine is a suspenseful, well-paced read that kept me turning pages late into the night. The premise - two women with very different lives becoming dangerously entangled - hooked me from the start. Jennifer does a great job at exploring themes of identity, privilege and the lengths people will go to, to protect their secrets.
The dual perspectives added depth to the story, and both characters felt distinct and well developed. There were several twists I didn't see coming, and the tension built steadily throughout.

This was an twisty amazing suspense thrillers. I was hooked from the start and of course I didn't see the ending coming. A must!! ADORED IT

🩰 Thank you Lake Union Publishing and @netgalley for the opportunity to review this incredible book.
📕 Think Dance Moms meets Desperate housewives with a good dose of paranoia, suspicion and secrets. This book tells the story of two very different mothers, their best friend daughters, and the lengths some will go to as they pursue competitive dance. The result is a twisty read that pulls you in for all the drama, a mom living vicariously, some truly unhinged moments and an act of violence that will have fingers pointing in every direction.
🩰 I couldn’t put this book down. The writing and intrigue were strong from start to finish. The author did an incredible job weaving twists and turns that kept me guessing at every turn.
📕What’s Yours is Mine is also a part of the @booksparks summer reading challenge! Pre-order it now friends and clear a spot on your August TBR for this one!!

As a former dance mom myself, What's Yours is Mine was a very realistic look into the competitive dance world. Two best friends competing since childhood competing against each other for the same roles and opportunities . If you enjoyed Black Swan this would be right u your alley!

What a fantastic book!!!! I have not had a book grab me and refuse to let go like this since reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I’ve read for the last 5 hours straight and would not finish until a I reached the end. This book on the surface is about the cutthroat world of competition dance and dance moms, it I felt this book was so much more, too. This book delves into the frailties and realities of motherhood, of twisted thinking, of trauma and how it shapes the future. It’s a gorgeous depiction of the adult psyche and all its complications and the messiness of relationships—especially for adults. In other words, it’s everything you want in a novel when you’re looking to escape and be entertained. Jabaley is on the list as one of my new favorite writers! I can’t wait to read whatever she writes next!

This book is a sharp, suspenseful look at the dark side of ambition, competition, and motherhood. As the tensions between two mothers and their daughters escalate, the line between friendship and rivalry blurs, leading to shocking consequences. With a gripping plot full of twists and simmering resentments, this novel explores how far people will go to protect their dreams—and the lengths they’ll take to destroy others who stand in their way.

While I truly appreciate NetGalley giving me this opportunity to read this ARC, I did have trouble finishing it. While the story is played out, some of the situations were very . . Unbelievable and ridiculous. I had a hard time getting into it and vibing with any of the characters.

A new technical program allows Lauren to enter another world, an alternate reality. She is able to travel back and forth between the two worlds. She can see what her life would look like if she stayed with Ollie, her present boyfriend, or with Drew a guy at work she had a crush on. I certainly would not want to be able to do that! I would get so confused.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I can’t give feedback because I could not get into the book I just think the storyline was not for me thank you for allowing me to read this

This book was good, although it didn’t grab me from the start. I did appreciate how some the characters were suspensefully mysterious until the end.
Overall I very much appreciated the chance to read the ARC, and would very much be interested in reading this author in the future.
Thank you NetGalley!

Valerie and Elise each have a daughter. Both mothers and daughters are friends and only become rivals when the girls are each competing for the coveted Duncan Prize which is worth $100,000 to the best gymnast. And we all know what rivalry can bring out in a competitor who will do anything to win! The novel does a deep dive into obsession, vindictiveness, and jealousy as we see what mothers--and also daughters--will do to succeed!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

Colette and Kate are best friends and the top dancers in their studio. Everything is great until they both get invited to dance at the Duncan, a special competition and then Elise, who was like a mother to Kate ditches her and pushes Colette to the brink to ensure she wins. A story about friendship, rivalry, and the stress to win, only Colette knows to what ends she will go to get her mother off her back and save her friendship.

An entertaining and engaging read about rivalry, ambition and motherhood with some great twists and turns. If you enjoy or have insight into the world of dance, that would be an extra bonus! Recommended.

wow this book packs the punches. not least because these really disturbing behaviors and series of events do happen in real life. and this book shines a stark light on those. i wish they didnt but ive seen them myself. and helped those who have been subject to it.
you wouldnt believe the pressure like in this book that the dancers are put under. and the worst thing is that often it is by the parents. in this case it is a very realistic mother doing the pressuring. the manipulation and pushing she does to her daughter to win is just awful. and my whole heart went out to the two girls under the weight of that pressure. i can easily see how thing spiral either inwardly or outwardly behavior wise for the girls under this pressure. but still this book has me gripped by its detail to the darkness.
you fully got that sense of impending doom. you got the pressure. you got the evil(yes i said it) way one mother was pushing.
the other mother was the opposite and constantly worried about the pressures. it was a little bit of ease to see this opposite. sadly its too and far between and those mothers arent really ever strong enough to not be down shafted by the horrid ones.
its so hard to try separate the girls from what was happening to them. this book was so full of real life emotion for me. its definitely hit close to home having worked with these girls and woman at the spiraled end of this kind of thing. its never pretty. in a way it was nice to read a fiction book that took it that bit further. made it even more darker. that allowed that distance.
this is a brilliant read though. despite my own links to this world i will say you dont feel that as a reader. because the book is jsut pure good writing and plot. i was surprised by the ending too. and i did that little intake of air that all good books get from you.

A Dance-Moms-esque psychological drama, this is a great read that keeps you guessing until the end. You can never truly trust any of the characters and that keeps you intrigued. Really enjoyed this and would recommend.

Full review closer to publication date!
I'd like to thank the publisher Lake Union Publishing and Netgalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

What's Yours is Mine is a thriller novel following Kate and Collette as they compete for a prestigious dance scholarship. The story has a Dance Moms-esque vibe to it with the drama and chaos that ensues. I truly could not believe what I was reading most of the time, it was so ridiculous. I definitely struggled at times because the plot was so petty and insane. Just unreliable narrator after unreliable narrator.
I wouldn't read something like this again since it's way out of my wheel house but it was an enjoyable read. 3/5 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for providing this book, with my honest review below.
What’s Yours Is Mine is the dance moms book that tops the trend I’ve been seeing, full of mysteries and bad behavior that is hard to solve but easy to love. Kate and Colette have grown up together as talented young dancers, though Kate’s single mom Valerie has worked hard to get them in a place where Kate can succeed next to wealthier Colette and her ex dancer mother Elise’s more privileged upbringing. The two girls are up for a competitive dance competition with generous prizes and the chance for exposure when Elise realizes Kate may be outshining Colette in talent - and may even be trying to sabotage her.
What follows is a lot of adults acting like kids and shady characters and behavior emerging under the pressure. The two girls are more of a mystery - until the very end, that is, when some interesting insights unveil what’s really at foot. This book had a lot happening that flowed together very well (making it feel more simplistic and easy to follow, perhaps due to how interesting the story was). I adored it and wish it was longer!
