Here's what readers have to say about this book....
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 😀
A book that I just couldn’t put down until I got to the end. It Dancing Fools and All That Jazz by B. Fleetwood is a vibrant, uplifting novel, which I just loved The writing is sharp and engaging, with a wonderful balance of humour, wit, and emotional depth. The story moves at a lively pace, keeping the reader engaged from start to finish. The characters, each from different cultural and personal backgrounds, are beautifully drawn. At times funny and lighthearted, at others poignant and serious, the book strikes a perfect emotional rhythm. The ending leaves you smiling - and maybe even a little emotional. I thoroughly enjoyed Dancing Fools and All That Jazz and wouldn’t be surprised if it finds its way onto the bestseller lists—it certainly deserves to. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a really great read.
What a great read! B Fleetwood has imaginatively created a contemporary story with a cast of characters the reader will be reluctant to leave. With the combination of humour, intrigue and a sprinkling of pathos this is the perfect ‘feel good’ novel to be read and savoured. I look forward to more from this author and maybe even a sequel to this book..
