Bubbles: Dancing Through History

It’s going to be the most boring year of her life. That’s what Bubbles has decided. This, her second year at the castle school, will involve no naked dancing, or television appearances. No fires in stone circles. No meltdowns. No hospital stays. You know, not like last year.

As she walks up the tree-lined drive towards the castle, she is immediately surrounded by TV reporters. Next she encounters the enigmatic and charming new boy, American student Aiden, and finds herself in an instalove situation. Being cast as the lead in a historical documentary is altogether too exciting and fun, as are the night-time visits to caves and underground chambers.

As Bubbles navigates her difficult home life, the complexities of her mental health and various intense experiences at the castle, she struggles to maintain equilibrium.

Will she be able to find balance amidst the chaos, or will her carefully laid ‘boring’ plan unravel completely?

Dive into this captivating coming-of-age tale filled with drama, romance, and self-discovery.

Rachel’s Holiday by Marian Keyes

Goodreads Blurb: Meet Rachel Walsh. She has a pair of size 8 feet and such a fondness for recreational drugs that her family has forked out the cash for a spell in Cloisters – Dublin’s answer to the Betty Ford Clinic.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: Yep … it’s official, this is my favourite Walsh Family Book. And that’s amazing because it not even about my favourite Walsh sister, Helen.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: I love a good asshole husband story, don’t get me wrong the books where it’s more complicated and no one’s entirely in the wrong are good too, but ooh, sometimes you just prefer to read a good old fashioned villain.

Ariel: Dancing on TV by Ailish Sinclair

Goodreads Blurb: The night before Ariel, a sixteen-year-old girl with a deformed hand, starts at the most prestigious dance school in Scotland, her mother tries to kill her.

(Goodreads Page)

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: Given how it starts – with the attempted murder of our main character by her own mother no less – you would be forgiven in thinking Ariel would turn out to be a tragic story, full of loss, pain and wicked mothers. And while there are some of those elements in there, ultimately Ailish Sinclair’s newest work is a heartwarming celebration of love, friendship, and the powerful healing properties of dance competitions.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: The first thing I said after finishing this book – “What a dick”. The second thing I said after finishing this book – “Why don’t you go back and live with the stupid horses, no one wants you here.” Thus ends my discovery of why so often only the first part of this book gets adapted.
