Book review: Burlesque or Bust
Burlesque or Bust by Sapphira I received a review copy of Burlesque or Bust in exchange for an honest review. As I stumbled upon Sapphira’s post in a group about her new book, Burlesque or Bust, about her personal journey with tackling mental health through burlesque, I was immediately intrigued. Having been in the burlesque scene for a couple of years so far, (the first year didn’t really count), I am aware that a lot of artists in the glittery environment, have their struggles.

Awardwinning Kate Atkinsons “Life after Life” is a novel that explores the question “What if you had the chance to live your life again and again, until you finally got it right?”.

This child gets the chance to do things differently, when circumstances, bad choices and unfortunate events influence her life. The baby is born again, same place, same house, same family every time until she learns to navigate the world differently. The…
