The other 2/3 is them being supportive of each other and learning how to be together. Maybe 1/3 is them getting over their opposites attract issues and learning to appreciate each other. But they find each other, find they enjoy dancing together, and quickly find out that they really like each other as people, even though they are very different people. Ed hooks up sometimes and doesn’t really date, and Laurie, while openly gay, is struggling with his identity a little more and also doesn’t date. Ed suffered a neck injury that ended his football career and his only outlet from his boring job is that he has started teaching a weight lifting class to at-risk teens at the same community center.Įd and Laurie are very different people, but they are both openly gay men in their 30s. Ed Maurer works for an insurance (?) company and until recently played semi-professional football. He now hides away teaching at a small studio that he owns and teaching aerobics to senior citizens at the local community center. Laurie Parker was a world class ballet dancer until he decided to try ballroom dancing in competition with another man. A story of grown ups learning to love and live with each other, and how they support each other through life’s problems. This book told my favorite kind of story. But, it was just too enjoyable not to share. I took too long to write this review (I finished this book several weeks ago now), so it won’t be a thorough as I would like.
