Dance With Me

"This book has such heart, I want to hold it to my chest and never let it go."

"This is a beautiful, funny and heartwarming enemies-to-lovers story... Nora's journey to true self-love and acceptance of her own body is so pure and beautiful and so close to home."

Contemporary dancer-turned-teacher Nora Cassidy hasn't performed since a traumatic competition in 2015, when former dance partner Julian Walker dropped her mid-lift and caused her to take a nasty fall in the middle of a group dance. They have been enemies ever since. Taunts from her peers and incessant criticism from her stern grandmother, Constance, taught Nora from a young age that there is no place for plus-size women in the dance world, so she retired from the spotlight at seventeen. Now, she works in her best friend's café and teaches the odd lesson at her grandmother's studio. However, she still dreams that, one day, there will be more space for diversity on the dance floor.

When Constance announces sudden plans to retire from managing her beloved dance studio, with Nora set to inherit it, those dreams finally seem within reach for the first time — but in an attempt to prove herself, she must work on a duet for the Winter Showcase with Julian, meaning she has to face both her fears of performing in front of an audience again and the suddenly complicated feelings that arise between her and her new/old dance partner.

This enemies-to-lovers romance proves that dance can bring just about anybody together, following Nora and Julian on their separate and joint journeys towards self-love, romantic love, and future success.
