review 1: The first thing that I absolutely loved about this book is that is girly! and it was refreshing for me to find a f/f love story that I could actually relate in the dance department. I really enjoyed to be able to escape into Jen and Adrienne's universe where you can actually find femme lesbians that are dancers and fall in love with them. In the real world is hard for me to believe they exist so I kept sneaking away on my daily life to be able to dive into "Waiting in wings" world, where being a contemporary lesbian dancer is not a big deal. If you are looking for a girly f/f love story this is it. Is good, is easy and lovely. Perfect for summer read.
review 2: **SLIGHT SPOILERS**This is the third book I've read by Ms. Brayden. Having done that, I can see this... more as a less experienced outing for her, but still so very good. I kept trying to visualize the main characters, and I think I have Jenna in my head, Adrienne still remains a bit fuzzy to me. In the first half of the book, Adrienne seemed much older than Jenna, but I had no idea how much. In the second half, Adrienne's more playful side came out. The shift was noticeable and, I felt, inconsistent though I liked her better. I do read with abandon, and probably missed a few of the finer details. Clearly this subject was something Ms. Brayden knew about and that's always fun. The initial spark between the characters was a bit fast, but I've seen it happen especially when people spend 24/7 with each other in intense environments. I have to say I could not entirely 'go there' that Jenna valued career above all else, and that leap was needed to explain the choices made. I also would have liked more ancillary character development (like Jenna's parents).I like how Ms. Brayden's sense of humor and personality seem to come through in all her novels. The way she writes dialogue is gifted. It’s natural, it’s to the point, it's believable and it’s witty. I'll very much look forward to her next offering! less
