A review by cpcabaniss
Someday Dancer by Sarah Rubin
Did not finish book.
DNF at page 81
I was buddy reading this with my sister and neithet of us could get into it. We finally just decided to put it down.
The novel is told in first person from the main character (I can't remember her name). I was confused as to how old she was supposed to be. Her dad supposedly died when she was 2 ten years before, but she's only a few months away from high school. It just didn't add up. She also read like a very young character, which I wasn't expecting. She read more like and 8-10 year old I thought. Her issues with the other kids at school often seemed exagerated. The author's attempt to use "southern" grammar was also annoying. I don't think I'll be trying this book again, although the blurb was interesting.
