Review for Swept Off My Feet





Why my life sucks
by Geri Lazaro

1. My dad left when I was a kid.
2. My mom is in love (insert eye roll).
3. With a guy who is like 10 years younger than her!
4. My friends think he’s hot. (Gross)
5. I love ballet but our dance studio has a leak and we have to dance in this smelly studio that doubles as an aikido dojo.
6. There’s this Dojo guy who thinks the studio belongs to him.
7. Friends think Dojo guy is cute. (Ew.) (Okay, objectively maybe but still, ew.)
8. I’m failing algebra.
9. Need to quit either basketball or ballet. Or both.
10. Dojo guy keeps showing up! (Fine, he does aikido in the same building but whatever.)
11. Dojo guy is asking me to dance with him. And maybe he is as cute as my friends say.
12. I don't know what to do anymore! 





This is a super cute story and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It was full of humor and personality and the characters were lovable and unique. The story was also different and I read it super fast because it kept me moving, no dull or slow spots, but also not so fast paced that you couldn't keep up. The situations were real, the people were real, and I love the move her mom made when she purposefully want into the middle of rush hour traffic lol! (I won't say more here, don't want to spoil it, but it was awesome and I'll have to use that on my kids some day!) I really enjoyed this authors writing style and I look forward to reading more of her work.
