Skye Lancaster and Finn Evans are childhood friends and professional ballroom dancers. Skye and Finn love each other deeply and think about their future together. But Skye is not quite happy. This seventeen-year-old girl dreams of a different life. She wants to be popular and tries to please an influential group of Garland High's girls led by the cheerleader captain, Mina Reyes. But popularity comes with a price. Starting with a seemingly harmless prank, Skye's attempts to earn the approval of the popular students threaten to destroy everything she holds dear, including her relationship with Finn. Will Skye be able to regain his trust and save their love? Young adult fans of romance, drama, and coming-of-age novels will appreciate Dancing in the Moonlight by Hermione Lee.

Dancing in the Moonlight is another gem of a book by Hermione Lee. While the book is aimed at young adults, the topics it explores deserve the attention of a larger audience. The author reveals how multifaceted the human soul is. As the narrative unfolds, we wonder whether Skye is a good person. Hermione speaks against vanity firmly and convincingly. Yet, the author treats the well-developed characters with kindness and compassion. We all make mistakes, but they should not shape our destiny. It is the main theme of this engaging story that also covers the importance of true friendship, loyalty, and our choices. Hermione depicts a charming romance between the daring Skye and the noble-hearted Finn. This fascinating tale will help young adult readers become better versions of themselves.
