"Du lässt den Arm auf der Schulter deines Partners ruhen und er legt seine Hand auf deinen unteren Rücken. Dann haltet ihr euch an den Händen. Ihr steht ganz nah zusammen. Praktisch verschmelzt ihr miteinander." Eine Teilnahme beim landesweiten Tanzwettbewerb Starwars? Das ist für die schüchterne Bea ja schon aufregend genug, aber ihr Tanzpartner ist ausgerechnet Ollie Matthews, der heißeste Junge der Schule. Leider hat auch Beas Rivalin Pearl ein Auge auf Ollie geworfen. Und die macht Bea ordentlich das Leben schwer. Natürlich ist Jenny McLachlans Debütroman eine Verbeugung vor Dirty Dancing, dem Kultfilm der Achtzigerjahre. Aber es ist auch eine wunderbare Geschichte über Schüchternheit und Mut und die Frage, ob Mädchenfreundschaft zerbricht, wenn die erste Liebe auftaucht.
