review 1: Review- This was such a wonderful book. Beautifully written, with great characters. Ed and Laurie were so beautiful together. I liked the slow development of their relationship. Ed’s character made me laugh and even tear up a few times. His frustration of living with chronic pain was so real to me. I understood his frustration, depression, stubborn fighting against making lifestyle changes for his own good, how he dealt with his PT, doctors and even Laurie. And Laurie’s patience was wonderful. It’s also difficult for the person in the relationship with someone with chronic pain, and I felt Ms. Cullinan did an excellent job of portraying the love and patience it takes. The fact that they had their dancing together was also really nicely done. Though I must admit I h... moread to Youtube some of them so I could actually see what the dance looked like. The only WTH moment in the book for me was the weird hot tub scene near the end. I don’t really think it fit with Laurie’s character at all. Or maybe that was the point? Hmmm. All in all a wonderful, memorable read.
review 2: What a beautiful love story! Laurie is a dancer, who fell from grace a few years ago when he tried to dance with a male partner in an international ballroom competition. Now he owns his own studio and teaches aerobics at the local community center. Ed is a stubborn ex-football player who works at the corporate headquarters for Best Buy and teaches weight training at the same community center. Their animosity and teasing evolves into something more when Ed agrees to be Laurie’s assistant for his ballroom dancing class. I loved watching them fall in love. They are both so broken, full of self-doubt and insecurities. I loved watching them find confidence and strength dancing together. And a special thanks to Dancing with the Stars for my knowledge of ballroom dancing. Fox-trot, Waltz, Rumba, Argentine Tango... I knew them all :) less
