In "Instructions for Dancing" by Nicola Yoon, 17-year-old Evie Thomas loses her belief in love after witnessing a couple’s breakup. She suddenly gains the ability to see the entire course of relationships after witnessing their beginning. Seeking to escape the painful truths of love, she stumbles upon a dance school, where she meets the charming X, who helps her embrace the joy of dancing and life. As their connection deepens, Evie must confront her fears and learn to open her heart again. The story beautifully explores themes of love, loss, and the transformative power of connection and self-discovery. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
