"Love is the question and the answer and the reason to ask in the first place. It's everything. All of it."

This book was so sweet. I loved the dash of magical realism! The banter between characters was fabulous and I laughed out loud few times. A magical rom-com with some serious topics worthy of discussion. I especially appreciate the LGBTQ representation!

This is my first Nicola Yoon book but I'm going to rush out and get Everything Everything and The Sun is Also A Star, now!!

Rounded down from 4.5 stars

I understand now why people cry at this ending because it is both sad and happy. It’s both. I love this book so much, I recommend it with my full cheesy heart.

I love Nicola Yoon novels so much and this was no exception!! She always finds the perfect balance between trashy, sad and heartwarming - which is exactly what Instructions for Dancing did!!

I loved the characters, plot, and the romance all so much!!

I just felt like the ending was a little bit rushed -

Spoiler

Like after she runs off from the dance competition and doesn't explain anything to anyone, as soon ass she runs back to X iit's like nothing ever happened? I just feel like they needed to talk it out a bit more - and I also really wish she'd been honest with X about her visions from earlier in the relationship.

but if I've taken away anything from this novel, it's to focus on the middle rather than the ending.

Would definitely recommend and will probably read again!
