Dance with Me by A.M. Heath is a relaxing read perfect for a lazy weekend. It has enjoyable, down-to-earth characters who face their problems in believable ways. I felt that the small town setting, as well as the time period, gave the book such a cozy atmosphere; I don’t often read books set in the 1950s.
The plot felt a little slow at times, but I think that’s because it’s a very character-driven story. I really enjoyed the way Arleen’s character was gradually revealed in such a way that explained her outlook on life, but still left room for some much-needed growth—growth that was subtle, yet beautiful.
The romance was sweet and perfectly suited to the characters as well as the story.
I’d recommend it to someone looking for a relaxed read with a strong faith element.
