Instructions for Dancing
by Nicola Yoon
I liked this book probably 3.5stars. It was not my favorite book from Yoon though. It just was sssssllllloooowwww. And while the book was called “Instructions for Dancing” there wasn’t actually a lot of dancing.
This book is really about endings - the ending of relationships, love, high school, friendships, marriages, dreams. It’s definitely a valuable perspective for young people too think about. BUT it just felt like it missed the mark a few times. Like how many times do you have to learn to “live in a moment” before you start reminding yourself. Overall It’s just great to have BIPOC main characters. Especially with a basic romance. Not fitting them into any boxes besides - young people growing up and life changing.
It’s really a sweet little romance.
Shout out to the audiobook reading queen Bahni Turpin, for delivering another amazing performance.
