review 1: This is my first Kim Wright book. I just thought I would give her a try . I listened to this book on CD and I am glad I did. At first , I thought well if you are a fan of 'Dancing With the Stars' on TV you will like this story. Then I kept listening...hum, I do seek pearls of wisdom in all books I read. I heard, " need attention, crave attention", to describe some women. I heard, " Men like women who make trouble.", and " A man either cheats or he doesn't"...a decision a man makes in his own head. The main character is 52 years of age and a new widow. She fortunately is rich and she also has a talent for ball room dancing. Plus , this story takes place in Charlotte , N.C....recently claimed as the #1 city to live. I would take this book on vacation...find my spot on the b... moreeach in Cancun, Mexico...Fiesta Americana Hotel, order my favorite drink , sip, and smile as I listen to this story. I also noted, a famous movie , 'Suddenly Last Summer', a Tennessee Willams gem, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Cliff, 1959. I must see this movie again. Plus , I am a Beatle Fan...and I have already played, 'Norwegian Wood ( This Bird Has Flown)' 1965 & cried.
review 2: I found this book completely captivating. Kelly, the lead character, is a woman at a cross-road in her life at 52. She is a very likeable character and very real as she reevaluates what to do with the rest of her life. I've been there and that really spoke to me. I was drawn into the story on the first page, and this was one of those books that calls you until you're finished. The ballroom dancing was very interesting to me because I know (knew?) zip about it. While I'm not out buying my very own dancing shoes, it was fun to learn about. This is a good follow up to _Love in Mid Air_. It would be hard to go wrong reading this thoughtful examination and reinterpreting of Kelly's life. less

Not a fast read, kind of boring, but loved the fact that story revolved around ballroom dancing!
