LitPick Review
Dance is fifteen-year old Natalie's life. All of her friends dance. There is very little time for boys or friends who don't dance. It is her therapy. Danced helped her through her parents' divorce, her father's move halfway across the family and his decision to start a new family , one that doesn't include her. Now, in her new status as an adult, Natalie is struggling. She is getting attention from her best friend Sasha''s older brother. But that is not allowed if her relationship with Sasha is to endure. With her budding status as the "slut" of the dance team, Natalie begins to wonder if dance is making things better or worse.
Opinion:
This book is another one coming of age story. It does, however, take a unique perspective in using the medium and power of dance to convey many of the main character's emotions and tribulations. It is a story of emergence into adulthood, womanhood, confidence and the world of dance. It was a good book for light reading and, although it will not find a place on my "favorites" shelf, it was an enjoyable read.
