Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon – 5 Stars!


I was a dancer 20 years, well I guess I’ll always be a dancer at heart.  I was skeptical when I picked up this book. I thought it was just going to be a single story with a dance lesson or studio in the background.  It turned out to be much more than that.  There was so much to think about as this Evie lives through the story.  It’s a multi layered story with so much to think about, it left me still thinking of it when I finished it and put it down.  I really enjoyed the story.  I think this book would really be one for those who believe in young love, those who have ever danced and those who would like to.  Also, for those who ever wondered what if….         

 

I received this book free through NetGalley.com in kindle format.  I wasn’t required to leave a review.  For the most part I enjoy reading and helping authors who are good.  Nicola Yoon will have to be in my to read again pile of new authors in my head.  The thoughts and opinion were my own freely given.  #InstructionsforDancing #NetGalley #NicolaYoon

 

Description From NetGalley.com

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything and The Sun Is Also a Star Nicola Yoon is back with her eagerly anticipated third novel. With all the heart and hope of her last two books, this is an utterly unique romance.

Evie Thomas doesn't believe in love anymore. Especially after the strangest thing occurs one otherwise ordinary afternoon: She witnesses a couple kiss and is overcome with a vision of how their romance began . . . and how it will end. After all, even the greatest love stories end with a broken heart, eventually.

As Evie tries to understand why this is happening, she finds herself at La Brea Dance Studio, learning to waltz, fox-trot, and tango with a boy named X. X is everything that Evie is not: adventurous, passionate, daring. His philosophy is to say yes to everything--including entering a ballroom dance competition with a girl he's only just met.

Falling for X is definitely not what Evie had in mind. If her visions of heartbreak have taught her anything, it's that no one escapes love unscathed. But as she and X dance around and toward each other, Evie is forced to question all she thought she knew about life and love. In the end, is love worth the risk?
