Last Dance on the Starlight Pier by Sarah Bird
3.0
I received an advanced reader copy of Last Dance on the Starlight Pier from St. Martin’s Press via NetGalley, in return for my honest opinion. I also won an advanced reader copy thru a Goodreads giveaway.
Last Dance on the Starlight Pier by Sarah Bird is a story about love- chasing it and unexpectedly finding it. As a child Evie Grace Devlin grew up around the vaudeville circuit. Evie’s father, Denny, was a well known dancer. After Denny’s death, Evie’s cruel mother, Mamie, was always looking to make money quickly , often times at Evie’s expense.
Evie’s dream is to become a nurse, upon graduation Evie is denied her pin when the secrets of her past are revealed. With nowhere to go, Evie ends up back in vaudeville while formulating a plan to get her nursing pin. Evie quickly taken with Zave- a very good looking man who has ties to her father. Soon Evie and Zave are the dancers that everyone is coming to see. In July 1932, an unfortunate incident changes everything, leaving Evie’s heart shattered.
This was a slow moving story filled with great characters- I found myself more interested in the subplots than the main storyline. Last Dance on the Starlight Pier is available today, April 12, 2022.
