Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon: review.

Instructions for Dancing

 

Writing three beautiful books in a row doesn't seem easy but Nicola Yoon has done it. Instructions for Dancing is just as adorable as her two previous novels but it's not a book for the faint-hearted

Evie, the main character, has just stopped believing in love and I can't blame her after her dad cheated and destroyed a long marriage and a family. But love finds a way to get into Evie's heart again and she falls head over heels for a boy who can actually dance (and sing). 

When I was reading this novel I felt like Evie many times with a mixture of happiness and sadness. Because this is not the kind of novel that depicts life as a bowl of cherries and it will make you laugh and cry. It will make you think whether it's worth loving someone when you know that relationship may not end well or reading a book with a bittersweet ending.  The answer to those questions is different for each person. 

I think Nicola Yoon has moved a step further with this novel. I'm eager to read her next one, but please, Nicola, don't make me cry again.
