One of the novel’s greatest strengths is its pacing. Readers frequently report that the book “keeps you guessing right up to the final page.” From the very beginning of the book I felt like I was right there with them. Through all the exciting tango’s, conversations, and chaos! You could feel all the emotions each character had! I have honestly never read a book like this one! I 1000% would recommend to any one and everyone!
Stephenson does an excellent job at portraying dance not only as a physical act but also as a language. To Dance is a romantic act that weaves together passion, danger, and secrets. The descriptions of dance sequences are vivid and cinematic.
Stephenson also focuses on the challenges artist face from the sacrifices demanded by passion to the tension between tradition and innovation. He finds a way to bring all these details together and ground the story! It’s not just a book about dance! It’s just so much more than that!
The protagonist, Devorah Bramsen, discovers the exhilarating Tango and finds a soulmate. Edwardo is the son of a drug dealer. Well, not just a drug dealer. He is the some of the biggest drug dealer. She had to finally a way to discuss her past which let’s be honest everyone hates doing! After sharing her past they have to find a way to continue dancing without it the history getting in the way! It all comes together when Deborah is recruited to set up a huge drug deal!
By the end of the book the readers are left not only with a greater appreciation for dance but also with a lasting reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. The book is short and sweet! You definitely will not put this one down once you start!

Fast paced with so many different things going on.
This book was a quick read but was sometimes hard to follow. The characters needed to be more developed from the beginning with more of a backstory. When it finally got to their backstory, the stories are good - it just took a while to get there. There is so much going on and all of the events are all over the place and not connected to the original story. This would have made an excellent crime series. Each event could be more developed as a sting operation and the newer characters could have been given more in depth back stories. Overall, the base story is really good but there is too much going on in this one novel. This story needs to be built onto over time.

I would give this 0 stars if I could. I could not even finish the book. It is poorly written, with grammatical errors. For me, the plot could not make up for the poor writing.
This book is written from the MFC POV and is written how someone would talk, not write. It is also extremely repetitive, repeating phrases and words multiple times in the same paragraph or page.
