Instructions for Dancing
by Nicola Yoon
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this digital arc in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
If you are looking for a read to start your summer off with, I definitely recommend Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon, even if romance isn’t your usual read. This one got me… on multiple levels. Look, I walked into this book ready for a romance. I walked away from this book with a new philosophy on life. No, I am not being dramatic. Nicola Yoon literally had me looking at life differently after I finished the book.
Honestly, it felt like romance is the side character. The main attraction of this book is actually the grief the main character, Evie, is working through after the divorce of her parents. She catches her dad in the act of cheating and her world is blown away because of it. A girl, in her senior year, who loved reading romance novels so much that she has them categorized, is thrown into a state of disillusionment. What is the point of love if it always ends in heartbreak?
Enter, a random book on dancing instruction from a little free library and a mysterious lady ala Zoltar in the Tom Hanks movie Big. Now our MC suddenly has the power to see the beginning, middle and end of a couple’s love story just by seeing them kiss. The plot thickens and Evie ends up at a dance studio and meets soon-to-be love interest, X.
I came for… the romance and dancing. People often think the tango is risqué but that bachata is dangerous when you do it right.
