I might be 35 years old but I adore a good YA novel 🤭🙈 Typically, I read YA when I'm in need of something wholesome but compelling, and Dancing Barefoot absolutely delivered that. I especially loved that the book was set in Melbourne, Australia. It feels like such an anomaly for me to read Australian literature but I love it when I do!

Dancing Barefoot follows Patch, our completely loveable protagonist. She's finding her identify as a young lesbian who is on scholarship at an elite private school in Melbourne. In typical YA fashion, there are a few important themes interweaved within this novel, and I loved the depth that Alice Boyle managed to cover in the story and characters.

I highly recommend a read if you are looking for a sapphic YA romance that's wholesome and heartwarming.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Text Publishing for a copy of this novel. ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
