Counterpointe, by Ann Warner is a sweet, gentle read. The problems and conflicts in the book are realistic and well handled. I nearly cried at times and the book had a satisfying ending. Although a little slow at the beginning, it quickly caught me up and I couldn't put it down until that last page was turned. Rob and Clare are two people I feel I could call friends. The book was unusual in having a ballet dancer as the main character but I enjoyed being reminded of all those hours I spent in toe shoes myself. Ann did her homework and got the terms right as well as all the aches and pains dancers often suffer. I also enjoyed the romance in the book with its problems and complications. I usually don't like books that start with a good relationship that deteriorates, but in Counterpointe, the concept worked so well I had to keep reading. There was no pat fix to the romance, either. It worked out slowly and naturally as it should between two people who loved each other all along. The writing is very good and smooth. There just weren't any parts that threw me out of the story, and there weren't any parts I wanted to skip. I would heartily recommend this book.

Counterpointe Ann Warner 9781497555877 Books Reviews

The combination of ballet and science helped create two main characters who must open their hearts to clearly see each other and themselves. The story was interesting and different, with serious challenges on the path each person was travelling. The ending was unknown until the reader and the story reached its conclusion. A very enjoyable journey.
This was a melancholic book, but so romantic, so beautifully written. Clare lost the career she loved and suffered other losses and spiraled down into a severe depression. Rob loved her with all his heart but when he couldn't help her, he had to leave. They were cruel to each other, but the love was strong underneath it all. It was a lovely story about loss and redemption.
I glanced at other reviews. One said "depressing". Could that reviewer have read the same story I did?

Yes, I'll agree that the two main protagonists in the story went through some rough times. As always, the journeys they took, first together and then separately, are more important than the outcome.

However, I'll leave it at this Read this book. I don't think you could be disappointed.
I have lived in Boston, worked with dancers and torn my own ACL. I currently live in Uruguay, and have traveled throughout South America. Having had these experiences, I can honestly say that in writing Counterpointe, Ann Warner has created vivid, enticing and accurate portrayal of the physical and emotional geography that surrounds them. This book is a masterpiece, which takes you deep into the character's psyche. You feel Clare's physical and emotional pain, along with Rob's sense of despair. All along, you want these two amazing people to get back together, but fear it will never happen. Only when each of them encounters larger than life events, can they recognize the deep love that was always there. BRAVA!
I very much enjoyed this sweet and entertaining novel. I cared about all the characters (and even shed a few tears in some places). As I got deeper into the story I found it harder and harder to put down. There was one tiny editing error (the wrong character's name was used one time about 2/3 of the way through) ( edition), but apart from that there wasn't a single sour note.

This is the first novel I've read by this author, but I will be looking out for her name in the future.
I received this book from the author for leaving a review on another of her books, Absence Of Grace (another great story). But I'm not in any way leaving this review as some sort of compensation. I'm leaving my review because I genuinely enjoyed this book and believe other people will enjoy it too.

I laughed. I cried. I found myself very much invested in both Clare and Rob. Ms Warner engrosses the reader in the difficult position you can find yourself when everything you've ever dreamed about and which gives life purpose is suddenly gone. How you would go about redefining your life? And how difficult and painful it can be on the people who love you to see your pain and not be able to help.

The writing is great and well edited with nothing glaringly wrong or bad enough to detract from the story. I will definitely look for other books by this author.
A work of fiction that explores topics like depression and struggling relationships has a challenge satisfying its readers, the negative reviews on this site can attest to that. I found the portrayal of the protagonist's depression and subsequent effects on her relationships to be accurately done. It is uncomfortable to read about a person hurting another emotionally when it is so undeserved, but it happens in real life and makes appropriate subject matter for fiction. This is not a garden variety romance. The real story begins after the "Happily Ever After" and it turns out it's not always so happy. I have not read other books centered around ballet and found the subject interesting and the portrayal appealing. There was a sense of the book dragging along at times and a sharper editing tool could have improved the pace but the overall feel was of musical progression and a tender beauty.
