Dirty Dancing, but make it queer? I was sold immediately. I really appreciated the subplot of "Is it ever too late to pursue your dreams?" Archer is 27 and trying to make it as a dancer in New York, but finally lands a position at the resort Shady Queens. This story has sweetness, but it is also drama filled with a lot happening amongst the whole cast of characters we have in this story. The main romance really doesn't get to sit in the front seat until the last 15% of the story. Did I have fun reading this? Yes! It's definitely a fun read. Were there a few things I had issues with? Also, yes. I would have liked to see more focus on Archer and his final romantic relationship than we got. It made the story feel a little unbalanced from the way it is advertised. All that to say, the writing is good, and the story was interesting. Archer is definitely an intriguing and relatable MC through which we get to experience this story. This was definitely an entertaining read, I just wanted a *little* more from it than I got.
