Is it possible to be 'just friends' with a girl? Absolutely. Best friends. You can even be ballroom partners. As long as you don't do anything stupid. FYI: Waking up one day and realizing too late that you're in love with your ballroom girl counts as doing something stupid. Especially if she's head-over-heels taken by somebody else. Then the best option is to walk away and forget it ever happened. Because nothing did, and nothing will. But what if she needed you to stand by her? Really needed you, as her closest friend? What kind of love would that take? The Last Lesson is a story about a boy who keeps secrets from a girl with high walls, and the truth about things that matter. Fans of Rainbow Rowell and John Green will enjoy this quiet coming-of-age love story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Gem
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2017

I got this book because it was recommended to me based on my tastes, and I thought the summary sounded cute; I love "best friends that fall in love" stories. I didn't realize it was so much *more*. There is so much depth to this story; from the first page I found myself hooked. By the time I'd breezed through a couple more pages, I was already invested in the characters. I loved the unique plotline...it seemed fragmented, yet flowed in perfect synchronicity to the mc (who narrates). I also loved getting the guy's perspective. This story is rich, lovely, bittersweet at times, and clean. Mr. Ramirez, you have a beautiful gem! Just, love. ;)

Not really my genre, but decided to read it anyway, and I am glad that I did. It is an excellent novel told in a unique manner that sets it apart from other books I've read with similar stories. I highly recommend it to fans of the genre, and encourage even those who aren;t into the genre to read it. Its unique style makes it a worthwhile read for any fan of good writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!

This book was so fascinating to read! I loved how it wasn't written specifically in chronological order - hence the term "fragments" in the title. I have never read anything else like it. I love novel ideas like that! Monique was my favorite character. Definitely give this book a try; it was worth the read.

Dance means dance... you just have to enjoy it... learn it carefully.... be attentive... you need to flow...
Have an awareness... you need to learn to love it with all your heart... learn every spins and twists... It's like learning life with a lesson learned... learning life with progress... there are days...few times,you need a pause and continue dancing again,if you already knew the meaning of dance...
