How to Dance
by Jason B. Dutton
First thought: Such a great story! A beautiful capturing of the daily life with cerebral palsy and how to navigate the dating scene. I was shocked to find out this was a debut novel. Well done.
Nick is a math teacher by day and a karaoke singing legend at night. His personality is bigger than life but he has one issue. He thinks people only see him for his disability and treat him with kindness because of it. He doesn’t let his cerebral palsy hold him back but he does let his doubt of how others see him prevent him from living.
Haley is a professional dancer and with a degree in early education. The thing that makes her happy in life is sharing her love of dance with the world. Only issue is she has been having anxiety and emotional trauma is impacting her ability to do what she loves.
Nick sees Hailey for the first time at a bar where she’s dancing with her boyfriend. He can’t take his eyes off her but when they interact they get off on a rocky start as he think she’s mocking his disability. However as the story progresses they form a friendship and lean on each other to work through their issues. They learn that dancing through life doesn’t always require you to have two good legs to stand on and sometimes you need to change out your partner.
This is a great story about hope, inspiration, and finding love and a safe place amongst the craziness of life.
