With a backdrop of Burlesque, ballet, and acting... this contemporary novel has great appeal.

Ellie is leaving dance for the stage in a promise to her late husband. She meets Dan who is immediately enthralled by her and they have a whirlwind type romance. But as her late husband payroll didn't exactly accept her fully, Dan's father proves to be a bit of the same. 

I love how Ellie and Dan will prove that circumstances of birth don't always equate to a person's quality. I did feel that there was a bit too much dance technique given center stage when I would have loved more leaning into the romance. I loved that we got to see Hannah and Martin from CHANGE OF LOCATION, it was a fun surprise to catch up with them.
