Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon

4.0

---

Yoon is becoming the Nicholas Sparks of YA literature. For those that don't insist on a happliy-ever-after will enjoy this book. the characters are delightful -especially the dance instructor. The main character starts off kind of annoying, but that makes her growth all the more enjoyable. Also - I took away a star because the whole bridal shower scene was so icky to me. Why on earth is everyone so happy for this woman who is marrying a man she cheated with? How can he be described as a family man when he literally cheated on his wife? I don't care how unhappy you are - take care of your business before you start a new relationship. And the fact that they kept pressuring the main character to just be okay with it (and even celebrate it)? yuck.
