I got through chapter 12, about 36% through the book and just could not continue.  The first few pages really set the tone for this book, and it was not a good one.  Miranda a AA woman relocates to South Dakota where there are barely any black people because she can't find a full time job in her home state after being laid off.  Immediately there are plenty of racial references of her being black, and what the white people will think b4 she even moves, and immediately upon getting to the new town.  This is fine, and usually found in interracial romances, but it just became a bit too much to much for me.Miranda decides to take dance lessons where she meets Jon, who is a hot blond white guy which she is immediately attracted to.  Now here comes the annoying part, she thinks he is hot from the start, but shoots him down every single time he asks her out for drinks.  They have these steamy dance sessions, and Miranda acts like a 12 year old when it comes time to take their relationship to the next level.  Even when she is at Jon's house and they are finally alone she shoots him down.  Once that happened I had to stop reading.  36% into a book there should be some type of dating going on between the main characters.  I just felt like this relationship progressed way to slowly, and did not hold my attention at all.  Miranda and Jon also lacked chemistry to me.  Maybe this book will pick up further down the line, but it would be very hard for me to continue reading at it's current pace.
