Sparks fly in this summer romp for fans of Casey McQuiston when dancers at a Catskills resort try to pull off the perfect show, and find happiness and a place where they belong on the way.
Archer Read is 27 and desperate to find his place in life. Five months ago, he quit his soul-destroying accounting job in Ohio and moved to Manhattan with dreams of making it on Broadway. And now he has nothing to show for it but a string of rejections. Even for a ray-of-sunshine like Archer, hope can only go so far. A musical revue at Shady Queens, a queer-friendly resort in the Catskills, is his last chance to break into show biz--otherwise, it's back to Ohio, broke and hopeless. He arrives ready to dance his heart out, only to find he'll be working with his teenage celebrity crush, the Broadway star Mateo Dixon.
"If you feel the heat every time there's a tango on So You Think You Can Dance, swoon for Strictly Ballroom, and imprinted on the summer camp vibes of Dirty Dancing, get ready to fall in love... With a lovable ensemble cast of oddballs and drama queens, Flirty Dancing is a charming and warm-hearted escape." --Amanda Sellet, author of Hate to Fake it to You
"Flirty Dancing by Jennifer Moffat is a lighthearted, sweet, frothy concoction... Filled with romantic flings, unrequited longing, and high kicks, it's the perfect summer read!" --Jayne Denker, author of The Rom-Com Agenda " Charming and steamy in equal measures, FLIRTY DANCING is the queer, frisky romcom we've been desperately waiting for. Moffat's considerable talent will have you fanning your flush one moment and giggling in the next; fans... will delight in the mess and drama of this sunshine-and-hormone-soaked summer show." --Lindz McLeod, author of The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet
