Take the Lead by Alexis Daria

4.0

I liked this book but it went a bit slowly for me in places. I love dancing and I love reading stories with Latinx characters, so I figured this was one was a must read. I think I listened to the other Daria book that I read and enjoyed it a bit more, so I might try to find more on audio. Dance competition shows can sometimes be a bit too "forced" for me and the characters a bit too "perfect" or formulaic. Daria writes the main characters, Gina and Stone, and their chemistry really well and they didn't feel formulaic at all. I just found myself wishing they weren't in the competition so they could just get together already (slow tango-y burn for sure)! If you enjoy watching Dancing with the Stars or other reality shows like that, you'll definitely enjoy this book. Looking forward to reading more from Alexis Daria.
