To quote a famous theologian, "I laughed, I cried, it moved me Bob" - Larry the Cucumber.

Instructions for Dancing was everything I needed to read at this time. It was heartbreaking and hilarious. I ate this story up. The main plotline with being able to see in the future (also the past, and present) reminded me of 'That's so Raven' a little bit. (I'll be honest though I never really really watched the show like that.) The plot was so cutesy and the friends-lovers was well done. Typically I'm more of a fan of enemies-lovers but the way Yoon writes is just something else. The whole plot was well thought out and the ending drove me mad. An open-closedish ending like that sometimes messes with my sanity. I legitimately burst into tears after I read the last line of the last page.

The family drama in Instructions for Dancing was real. I was moved multiple times throughout this book. I felt Evie's pain and frustration. I think at the end of the day her feelings were valid and everything she did in the book was true to life. The romance between Evie and X was beautiful and I enjoyed every minute of it. I love how an overarching theme of Instructions for Dancing was you cannot let past hurts hinder you from living. Evie was holding herself back from love but also from living life. the conclusion she came to at the end of the book was tear-jerking but perfect. I think I loved this book even more after I read Yoon's dedication and her afterwords. She was obviously going through a lot before and during the time she wrote Instructions for Dancing and as a reader you can see her emotions come to life on the page. If you want a cute heartbreaking read, do pick this up.
