Sing If You Can't Dance

Venetia is 17. She and her best friend, Maddie, are in a girls’ dance group called PopSync who are about to make it big. On the day of their televised audition, Ven finds that she can’t dance because her knee has dislocated. She discovers that she has a long-term condition which results in all of her joints being liable to very frequent and painful dislocations. She is no longer able to dance in PopSync. So, who is she now?

This is the no-holds-barred and often darkly humorous story of Ven’s journey to discover her new identity and accept the limits of her condition. People with chronic illnesses or disabilities will find her character scarily easy to relate to and will laugh at her comments on the medical profession which are sometimes painfully accurate. All readers will feel great empathy with her.

If any reader has struggled with feeling different or worried they will be unable to achieve their dreams, this book is for them.
