Grief, death of a parent, car accident Make the Fireflies Dance follows Quincy, a hopeless romantic and aspiring filmmaker. After she’s kissed by a stranger in a classic rom com moment, Quincy is determined to find her mystery guy in time for senior prom. With her friends’ help, they devise a plan for Quin to go on dates with all the guys there that night to figure out who kissed her. The only problem? She doesn’t like giving up control and as other factors in her life become more stressful, things start to crumble. Will she fall for the right guy? Or will she start to catch feelings for one who definitely isn’t who she’s been looking for?
This book caught my attention right away. The writing style and short chapters made it a fast read which was easy to fly through. I had a lot of fun reading about Quincy's love for movies and filmmaking and really liked the scenes where she was directing the production of her short film. I found the romance to be sweet and cute, and it reminded me of a classic rom-com. But Make the Fireflies Dance not only focuses on romance but also grief. We see Quincy's journey as she navigates the loss of her mother and how this impacts each member of her family. I thought that these scenes were well developed and showcased Quincy's growth and her great support system in her friends. Speaking of her friends, Quincy had an intriguing friend group, I enjoyed learning about each of Quincy's friends and classmates. But I do wish we had more time to get to know them better. Unfortunately, I found the ending to be a bit rushed and left some loose ends hanging that I wish could have been tied up. However, I loved Quincy's family, especially her grandmother and their relationship. Overall a sweet read filled with romance and summery vibes. I gave this book 3/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️. That's a wrap on my review of Make the Fireflies Dance by Rachel Bateman! I hope you enjoyed it! If you could bring any character to life for a day, who would you choose?
