Abstract of the book "Be My Dance Partner"
What do you do when your dream slips away… for the second time? What do you do when, the first time, you barely recovered from disappointment? Give up? Never. It’s better to come up with a bold, ambitious plan and chase your goal with everything you’ve got. This is a story about first love—an experience everyone meets in their own time. But are we all as brave and determined as the heroes of this story? That’s something you’ll have to find out.

I’ve read it. I’m giving a well-deserved star. I’ll write a review in a few days because I need to think everything through carefully. Once it’s ready, I’ll post it here in the comments.
aisi-dora21.01.2025, 21:17Eva Romik, Thank you. I’m looking forward to your review with interest.
marina-dubic16.12.2024, 08:52What exactly did Yana get into in Kyiv? I feel like a dinosaur)))) I'll have to Google it... Author, thank you for the wonderful story! This is your second contemporary romance here, and I can already sense your personal style (thumbs up). I wish you loyal readers, belief in yourself, and patience - you will succeed! Inspiration, I can just feel, surrounds you - may it always be so ;) I'm glad I found you here and I'm moving on to "Hell."
aisi-dora16.12.2024, 09:20Marina Dubich, Thank you. I’m very pleased. And I’ve felt your support all this time. Playback theater is, to some extent, a therapeutic performance. I see that participating in this troupe would make Yana even more confident, and she would finally overcome her insecurity in unfamiliar situations (because playback is improvisation).
selena-reini15.12.2024, 23:33Thank you for the wonderful book! Warm, romantic, and touching! The characters are simply enchanting) I admire their honesty! Honesty, above all, with themselves) I'm glad that Yana knows how to appreciate her victories and approaches problems philosophically. And a special thank you for the note about their future. It's nice to know that everything is well with them) I will be looking forward to your new works! Wishing you inspiration)
aisi-dora16.12.2024, 07:38Selena Rainey, Thank you. Support from a favorite author is twice as pleasant.

The costumes are cool - in the first photo, Yana looks just as I imagined her. Such an atmospheric photo. I wanted to uncover Leo's secret throughout the whole book! And now the moment has come...
aisi-dora14.12.2024, 22:01Marina Dubich, I also liked the first photo the most, and in the second one - the costume
- selena-reini12.12.2024, 22:12
The characters underestimate the chemistry between partners. Yes, Yaryk and Yana danced masterfully. But the trust between them has disappeared. On the other hand, Leo, though not as skilled, has Yana's trust. I don’t know if they will participate in the competition or win, but I feel that with Yana’s new approach to dancing, it will all bring her joy.) And I would gladly take a look at the costume))
- marina-dubic10.12.2024, 22:54
Yes, it's interesting to look at the costumes - they're beautiful ❤️ I had a feeling Yarik would pull something off... Alla Dmytrivna didn't exactly surprise me. In my opinion, she became another key figure in Yana's fate. It could have happened without her (Alla Dmytrivna).
aisi-dora11.12.2024, 18:49Marina Dubych, Alla Dmytrivna really might not have been there, her dialogue appeared in the 3rd version, and then I calmed down.
- selena-reini04.12.2024, 22:30
They are so cute, attentive to each other, and harmonious) A wonderful couple)
- marina-dubic04.12.2024, 19:35
I don’t even remember if I’ve ever read about a positive first experience… I mean, I’ve read things like: “her friends must have been lying, it didn’t hurt at all, and she was burning with desire,” but that seems like fiction)))))). Oh, no, I did read about it in “False Mantras,” but in the end, it was a lesbian first time ))
aisi-dora05.12.2024, 13:55Marina Dubich, What an interesting coincidence ))) It was "False Mantras" and two other books by Lana Vernik that inspired me in this chapter. About the importance of self-discovery before entering into intimate relationships and shifting all the responsibility onto the partner. After reading your comment, I even got excited about the idea of including this event in Yana's life in the novel, but for now, I’m more inclined to think that Yana will wait a bit longer )))
- selena-reini02.12.2024, 22:49
Very nice and proper conversation. It's wonderful that such trust exists. Write to me on Facebook, I have a few tips for the book)
aisi-dora03.12.2024, 08:14Selena Rainey, Thank you
- marina-dubic26.11.2024, 19:19
Mmm, it seems that more doubts and thoughts have appeared rather than being dispelled... I want to tell Yana what I tell my niece, and now also my daughter, when they ask about readiness for sex: "Start with yourself, explore your own body." The first sexual experience is so important that no relationship, no guy is worth ruining it for yourself.
aisi-dora26.11.2024, 19:49Marina Dubich, I completely agree with you, and the same conversation you mentioned is awaiting Yana.
- marina-dubic25.11.2024, 22:21
Here comes Katya again ))) But honestly, I think it would have come to that conversation even without Katya...
aisi-dora26.11.2024, 09:13Marina Dubich, 100%

Oh my goodness! I remember my youth and feel like facepalming... Is all the youth so aware nowadays? My 13-year-old daughter sometimes amazes me with her judgments too, but Yana is just like Master Yoda ))) The dates they both come up with are so cool... I got distracted for a couple of days by "Hell for Criminals" - I didn’t start reading it, wanted to wait until the whole book was out. I’m not good at waiting)))) Thanks for the continuation here! "Hell" is captivating, but I’m so worried about Yana and Leo...
aisi-dora24.11.2024, 21:13Marina Dubich, Thank you for your comment and attention to another book. I’m very pleased that the characters evoke such emotions in you and don’t leave you indifferent. I idealize them a bit, especially Yana, and I do it consciously, just as I didn’t let Yuli from "Fate..." make an irreversible mistake, because I believe in the power of open conversation and honesty with oneself, and I want to write exactly such stories. I’m delighted that there are readers who enjoy them. Thank you again for your comment. And also, this is probably an attempt to at least in this way correct the mistakes of my youth.
- selena-reini23.11.2024, 21:13
Unfortunately, even when you do everything right and avoid the mistakes of characters from romantic movies and books, it’s not always possible to achieve perfect relationships... Well, I’m curious to see what happens with this couple next)
aisi-dora23.11.2024, 21:37Selena Rainy, I agree. Especially since happiness in a couple depends on both.
