Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon

5.0

Instructions for Dancing is a beautifully sad story that will hook you from page one while also breaking your heart. Devastated after her parents divorce, Evie stops believing in love, which results in her giving away all of her romance novels. As a romance fan, this made me sad, but we all grieve in different ways. One day Evie receives magic powers where she has visions of how couples will break up. For someone who is already anti-romance due to her parents, this doesn’t help Evie’s relationship with love and the idea of happily ever after. Her new visions lead her to a dance studio where she meets X and agrees to join a ballroom competition with X as her partner. Both Evie and X have experienced pain and loss and X, with his say yes to everything attitude, starts to crack the wall Evie has put up. Instructions for Dancing is a great read that will break your heart while teaching you to live each day as best you can.
