The 1950s NYC setting and Rockette illustrated experience were fantastic. With all that and a serial bomber on the loose (based on a true story), what’s not to love?

I picked this book up on a whim from my library’s new books bookshelf. I have to say it’s one of the best books I’ve read in a long time! Loosely based on a true historical event, it details the journey of Marion separating from her family and following her dancing dream. There were little twists throughout that kept me reading. It did not end like I thought It would. I really recommend if you’re into historical fiction with mystery and twists!

This book was comfort. Even though the story was fiction, I felt like I still learned some things about the Rockettes and things in the New York City area during this time period. I was a bit surprised by the turn it took, but that definitely brought more interest into it. I'd recommend this book to those who enjoy historical fiction with a bit of romance.
