Maureen is quite head strong even from being a child. She knows as soon as she sets eyes on Jack, the boy next door, that they are destined to be together. A friendship starts up between herself, Jack, Jack’s friend Nelson and Maureen’s friend, Monica. The friendship between these four was so heart warming to read.
Nelson is a character that won my heart right from the start. I totally loved him. He doesn’t have the best of lives to start with due to his mother, but the friendship his friends give him is something that goes above and beyond. I don’t think I will ever forget the image I had in my mind of him with his brown jumper that he literally lived in.
The only way I can describe this story is that it is very bitter sweet. There is so many nice and lovely friendships as well as moments that made me smile and warmed my heart. On the other hand though, there are a few events that had me heart broken along with the characters and had me reaching for a tissue. It is certainly an emotional roller coaster of a read.
When We Danced At The End Of The Pier is simply a beautiful and emotional read. I don’t think I can remember the last time a book moved me to tears so many times whilst reading it. I shed tears of happiness as well as sadness. This is one author who creates characters that will totally capture the readers hearts and I know that them and their story will remain with me for a very long time to come.
My thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.

Oh my word I honestly can't remember the last time a book made me feel so emotional. Well this book made me laugh one minute and bawl my eyes out the next. It was absolutely brilliant. Right from the first page I was glued to it and just didn't want to put it down. Sandy Taylor is one amazing writer and the way she writes and describes the character really pulls you into the story. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It is simply amazing.
