Dance Away with Me by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

3.0

---

I was really hoping to like this book as it had been on several lists of highly anticipated novels, but I thought it was just OK. I think the story had a lot of promise, but it was a bit preachy (telling customers that you won't sell them something, setting up info on sex education against the store owner's wishes). I also thought it was predictable that Ian and Tess would end up together from the moment they met. Tess was a whirlwind in the town, and an outsider, so I was a bit surprised of her takeover of the town in many ways. I expected more from this novel.
