I loved it so much, I couldn't put it down. I wish I hadn't read it so quickly, really, then I'd still have it to read!
It felt completely authentic and was really interesting as well as moving, funny and romantic. I also want to take up tango.
Utterly engaging from the first line to the last . . . impossible to put down
