Dancing Queen

By: Erin Downing


    It's official. Olivia is a superfreak. Sure, she may have landed the hottest internship at an übercool TV music station. And yes, she's chilling with A-listers in London all summer. But when she meets her very first pop star, she gets caught in a revolving glass door and falls smack down on her bum -- all in one quick motion.
    Luckily, Rocker Boy thinks Liv's quirks are adorable. He takes her clubbing at the hippest spots! Liv may be clumsy on solid ground, but on the dance floor she sparkles. The summer's just begun and she's already captured the spotlight -- and a celeb's heart, too. Now if only she was sure he's the right guy...
    I have mixed feelings about Dancing Queen. As I look back on the book I think about how much I hated it. The book started out with the makings of a great plot but Downing never followed through. There really was no plot and no story. The book just dragged on and on. There wasn’t really a story until the last 50-60 pages or so. But that last part was fantastic, and made reading the other 200 pages worth reading.
    Even though at times this book was boring, that does not mean that I didn’t like anything. I enjoyed how Downing talked about a foreign country. When authors write books where their characters are going to foreign countries, it is their job to help the reader enjoy the country. I found that in Dancing Queen. This story was cute and fun but wasn’t anything to get excited about either.

My favorite part of the book was the Frumpy to Fabulous VJ for a day audition.
