Review:

I love reading love stories and if the story is a mix of romance, tragedy and determination then the joy of reading it is of course magnified. The first thing that compelled me to pick the book was its beautiful and vibrant cover. I loved it. Now the story. With You I Dance is a simple love story told in an impressive manner. The language and descriptions are beautiful that make the book unputdownable.

The novel is a story about life, it's challenges, chasing dreams, second chances, about not giving into the messed up situations but standing up again and giving your dreams wings or may be two little feet so that they can dance along with you. The author has covered many emotions in the book: humour, love, friendship, chemistry between the main protagonists, fighting hidden demons, sibling love and also parental pressure. The book is also about making your dreams come true.

The author has excellent command over the language that makes reading the book all the more enjoyable. What I liked most in the book is that the story is not only another love story between a boy and a girl but it is also a love story about a girl learning how to love her own self.

A must read for romance lovers.
