Here's what readers have to say about this book....
A absolute must read! I’m not usually a big reader but once I started reading Dancing Fools and All That Jazz I found I couldn’t put it down. Loved the story, loved the characters, the twists and turns along the way and even had me moved to tears at times. Fabulous writing from the author, well done B Fleetwood! Cant recommend this book highly enough.
I thoroughly enjoyed this funny and moving book, and quickly found that I couldn’t put it down. I loved the way the plot unfolded through the voices of the various characters, each of them beautifully drawn, memorable and easy to relate to. The writing was fresh, engaging and highly visual (this book would make a great film!), and the story had emotional weight. I would love to hear more about the women and their adventures, dancing and otherwise, and definitely more from B Fleetwood. A wonderful read!
A Highly Entertaining Read! I loved this funny, unpredictable and pacy book about friendship and relationships. I was gripped from the first page by the characters and the passion they share for dancing. The twists and turns of the plot match the twist and turns of the dances which are vividly described. The energy of the author keeps your interest until the last page. I hope there is a sequel!!
I so enjoyed reading this book – written in a lively and no- nonsense style that results in a compulsive page turner. The story of a ladies dance group, going off to Paris to take part in a Dance competition is interlaced with the relationships and revelations of the eclectic mix of characters. Both themes are as much a part of this book’s attraction and entertainment. Funny, emotional and delivering that feel good factor that we all so enjoy. Highly recommended.
“Great read” Dancing with fools Written well, lots going on which keeps you captivated. Wasn’t sure that I was going to like it as written in chapters with varying characters points of view but it actually worked really well. & I thoroughly enjoyed it. So many different characters described so well you could picture what they were like. You also couldn’t guess what was going to happen which motivated me to continue reading (even when I shouldn’t have been). Absolutely brilliant, can’t wait until the next one, I’m a definite fan 😀
