Pretending to Dance
by Diane Chamberlain
This was not my favorite Diane Chamberlain book. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. I think that having a good portion of the book told from teenage Molly's perspective brought this book down for me. It was a realistic voice for a 14 year old girl, but that was the problem. She was really annoying and her story was too predictable. Of course she didn't see what was happening with her family because she was obsessed with New Kids on the Block and boy crazy for a jerk. However, as an adult reader I knew exactly what was happening and found it tedious to read the story from a teenybopper perspective. Adult Molly could have been decent, but there wasn't much meat to her story. She got a fraction of the book compared to her younger counterpart and her character overall wasn't very well developed. Again, not my favorite Chamberlain book.
