It hurts me to say it, but I guess the review will tell. About That Night is a pretty good book but I don’t love it as much as I did Something About You. There’s no easy way to say it so I guess I’ll just come right out and get it over with. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, Copeland shows her a different view of herself practicing for hours, even as a teenage girl. ![]() The young dancer sees only Misty’s success.
