Ava Duane's life needs a change. Her boyfriend is unromantic and uncommitted and to make it worse Ava's younger sister is getting married. The only thing Ava seems to look forward to is the new series of Strictly Come Dancing. When she meets her sister's dress designer and finds out she designs the costume for the TV show, Ava's passion for dance is reignited. She enrols in a dance class and soon finds her ideal dance partner. But when the chance comes to change her life, will she be brave enough to? Chance is a tie-in to the British TV series Strictly Come Dancing which sees celebrities learning to dance and battling it out to become the champion. The link to the show is very tenuous, and at points it seems a little shoehorned in. But Ava is a likeable character with a normal everyday life, who you feel for as she tries to add a bit of sparkle to her life. It is an easy, enjoyable read but won't have you dancing for joy. (AB)
