Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon

 


“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?” - taken from Goodreads.com


This book started out super slow for me in that I wasn’t quite sure why Evie is given the power and tremendous responsibility of seeing the lifespan of the relationships of couples she sees kissing. Once she and X really hit it off and things around her house become clearer, the story really took off only to break my heart into a million pieces at the end.
