Every time I pick up one of Nicola Yoon’s books, she rips my heart out, breaks it, and hands it back to me - somehow a little more healed than when I started.
Instructions for Dancing is a beautiful, devastating, hopeful story about love - romantic love, friendship, family - the lengths to which we’ll go to protect ourselves and those we love from difficult realities, and what we miss when “protect” becomes “close off.” Every character in this story is complex and real, and even with a dash of magic it feels like I could meet them in LA today if I wanted to.
To not read this book would be a real tragedy.
