Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will enjoy.

This book comes courtesy of Netgalley (an ebook copy for an honest review) and qualifies for the British Book Challenge for being set in Britain and written by an author who lives there.

The description of this book intrigued me, as did the lovely atmospheric cover. And it turns out be set in Welwyn Garden City, somewhere I have lived near which made me happy – how often do books get written about small places you actually know?

The story is as wistful as the cover, the kind of story you read because you want to find out what will happen – but at the same time you don’t want to read it in case the things you think will happen, do.

A coming of age story, you get to know a triangle of characters who, like the dancing that binds them together, weave in and out between each other – 3 people who need each other for a time, affect each other in ways they couldn’t imagine – and the life carries on.

I liked how Eva Rice picks out real life characters, events & places to anchor her story, and I did believe her characters were doing what their characters would do, in a real way. Unfortunately for me, I just didn’t care too much what those things were. I didn’t connect to them. But I think it’s just not my usual thing, and that other people would easily connect to them. It was a little sad, and a little too gentle for me.

Another fantastic book from Eva Rice. Firmly becoming a favourite. Heart-warming, fab characters and very enjoyable.
