How to Dance by Jason B. Dutton
3.0

Nick Freeman is the star of Friday night karaoke at a local bar, enjoying the chance for his singing to distract from his cerebral palsy. One night, he can’t help but watch professional dancer Hayley Burke light up the dance floor with her boyfriend. When Hayley sees Nick’s expression, she challenges him to try some dance moves with her before learning that he can only walk with the help of a metal walker. Despite their initial meeting, the two become friends, while Nick silently wishes for more.

This was an enjoyable Own Voices debut novel with an engaging cast of side characters to round out the main story line. I love that Nick was a math teacher, even though we didn’t get to see much of that in the story. I personally did not care for the narrator of the audiobook, so I would suggest grabbing a physical or ebook version of this story.

Many thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an audio ARC of this book.
