Tiny Dancer Gets Great Reviews on Goodreads
And 5-star Reviews coming in on Goodreads: One of the best books I've read this summer...there's a lot of depth to it and it was fascinating all the way through with a lot of unexpected plot twists. Reviews compare it to The Help and The Secret Lives of Bees. It does have similar tones to both of those great reads, but can certainly hold its own. I highly recommend it! ~ tinyurl.com/lyjrq6c Amber, Reader Goodreads
