Instructions for Dancing
by Nicola Yoon
emotional
hopeful
fast-paced
I have a real problem with YA books that center on children who have to keep secrets, especially for adults. For the most part, this book was very cute, and I found the romance really believable, I was shipping Evie and X. But Evie’s parents make her keep her dad’s adultery a secret, and they let her be ridiculed by her sister for her emotional reaction to her father’s new relationship, and that never being resolved really rubbed me the wrong way. Evie grew a lot, but where was the responsibility out of the adults in her life? Also, really really wish we’d gotten more of the grandparents/dance studio owners. She was learning about love, and it would have been cute to have her interact with the one happy couple she knew.
