One word…ouch. I cried more during this book than I probably should have, and honestly? I’m okay with that. 

Instructions for Dancing is a coming of age story. It’s about learning to see that not everything is black and white. That the beginning and ending of a story aren’t the most important part, it’s the middle. 

It’s about forgiveness and learning to love someone despite their flaws. It’s learning to enjoy and cherish the time you have with each other, however long that may be. 

Nicola Yoon has done it again. 5 stars from me.
