101 Ways to Dance



This book was inspired by a writing exercise that the author used in a creative writing course. This is very appropriate as it is a very creative way to approach the topic of relationships for young adults.

I decided to read this book as a celebration of my last semester of my MLIS.  I absolutely fell in love with this book from the beginning where the author has a forward, a preface, a prologue and an introduction but explains that as a grad student “you could skip to chapter 1 and begin reading the actual book. But out of obligation to the printed word, or out of inertia, or out of a misguided need to finish what you start, you’ll keep reading and waiting”. As with the rest of the book, it is sadly true – though I did resist the urge to take notes!
