Last Dance on the Starlight Pier by Sarah Bird
4.0
“How had I become a person who would cause the man I love to kill himself?”
Set during The Great Depression, Last Dance on the Starlight Pier features Evie Grace Devlin as she runs from her childhood life as a stage performer, working her way through a nursing program, only to find herself back in the spotlight in a dancing competition.
This book sucked me in from the beginning. I continually pictured the Gilmore Girls episode where Stars Hollow hosted a 24hr danceathon. This also gave me The Lincoln Highway vibes. The stories are vastly different, but the feeling of the writing was similar to me.
Rating:
4.25
