I’ve seen many reviews from both dancers and non-dancers stating that this book wasn’t about dancing, as the title suggested. However, as a dancer myself, I think the title fits. Dancing is a form of love. Dance can be messy and beautiful, much like love. Love is expressing oneself in joy and sadness, much like how dancers can express feelings through movement.
Our young MC Evie, was scared of love after the betrayal she felt from her parents. As the story continues, she begins to learn & accept that her idea of love can change as life unfolds. We are allowed to love different people who come into our lives & there is nothing wrong with that. Love is a beautiful thing & beauty we should all be grateful for.
