Yoon's latest novel is tender, evocative, raw, and completely binge-worthy. It may be Young Adult, but the themes and questions raised within this book are univeral regardless of age: how does one reckon with human fallibility? With infidelity? With heatache, grief, and death? There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but Yoon's INSTRUCTIONS FOR DANCING is a pitch-perfect, well-written attempt to digest some of those all-important inquiries.
