Instructions for Dancing was nothing if not a sweet read. I have liked every single book that I have read by this author and I just added this one to my list. This book was almost philosophical but it was written in such a way that I felt like I flew through reading it. I was really rooting for Evie and X the entire novel and I was glad to see them get their happy ending. This did an excellent job of portraying how your surroundings affect your perception of the world. I have written down so many quotes from this book and two of the author's other young adult novels. I like how she provides such powerful insight into the human condition and in a way that makes it easier to grasp for a younger adult audience. I can't wait to see what this author writes next!
