Dance Your Cares Away
Contains spoilers, click to show
Dancing is an art form. It is freedom. It can be both joyful or sadness. Dance is a metaphor for the ups and downs, ins and outs of life. Gloria loves to dance and goes out dancing whenever she gets the chance. Her job in insurance is mundane and joyless. Her children are both grown. Her daughter is a yoga instructor in a relationship with a Swedish big wave surfer, the symbol of YOLOism. Her son is raising a son alone while his millenial wife discovers herself or finds inner peace or some granola truism. Her ex-husband is out of her life amd played by hangdog Brad Garrett. The nights out dancing are a way to live for her. One night she meets a hot-blooded recent divorcee who ignites a untapped passion in her. He reads Latin American poetry and owns an amusement park with automatic paintball guns. Something doesn't feel completely right with this man though. His thirtyish daughters constantly call him, abandoning her in key spots. The relationship drains her and she refuses to dance. Until she realizes the truth and then avenges herself with his gifted gun. Kind of ironic that he is cheating with her and he gets angry when she ignores him while with her immediate family. In the end, she dances at her friend's daughter's wedding and finds her own inner joy.

This book is best for young teens or preteens (this is my opinion only). I truthfully can't remember when I first read this book, I do still like it and did remember liking mostly because it is the why's and hows why was the breast cursed how did he live? The fact that this from the Beast's pov. He is a Persian prince who is Muslim. That the author peppered the book with many foreign languages. And except for a few (mostly the Latin) she says what it means in English. I find I dislike first person present tense (person opinion) and at times find it can be stilted, however, I do respect a writer that can attempt it and succeed. Most of the story about 3/4 of it tells about the before meeting of Belle. It is not a fast paced book. And the ending is kinda abrupt. Not a bad "summer" read besides the multiple languages it is not a difficult read. A very unique book about a devout Persian Muslim whose thick headedness and pride get him cursed and his faith that he might be forgiven.

"And I've forgotten my prayers. How can I expect the Merciful One to remember me if I forget Him? I go out side and perform the wudhu. Then I pray.
I hear horse hooves.
This is not the way prayers work."---Beast
