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.<br \/>\nAs 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.<br \/>\nFalling 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?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-06-02T10:00:29+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Wednesday and welcome to my stop on the blog tour for INSTRUCTIONS FOR DANCING by Nicola Yoon!

It used to be that if I was in a funk or in the barren hinterland between sad and mad, I could just pluck any random one from my favorites shelf and settle into my fuzzy pink chair for a good read. By chapter three\u2014chapter four at the very latest\u2014I\u2019d be feeling better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days, though, the books are nothing but letters arranged into correctly spelled words, arranged into grammatically correct sentences and well-structured paragraphs and thematically cohesive chapters. They\u2019re no longer magical and transporting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a past life I was a librarian, so my books are arranged by genre. Until I started giving them away, the Contemporary Romance section was the biggest. My favorite of all time is Cupcakes and Kisses. I pull it down from my shelf and flip through it, giving it one last shot to be magical. The best scene is when the no-nonsense head chef and the sexy, constantly brooding line cook with the mysterious past have a food fight in the kitchen. They both end up covered in flour and icing. There\u2019s kissing and a lot of dessert-related wordplay:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugar lips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweet buns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sticky situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Six months ago this scene would have made me gooey inside. (See what I did there?)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, though? Nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And since the words haven\u2019t changed from the last time I read them, I have to admit the problem isn\u2019t the book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem is me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I close the book and stack it on top of the others I\u2019m giving away. One last trip to the library tomorrow and all my romances will be gone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as I start putting them into my backpack, Mom pokes her head into my room. Her eyes travel a circuit from my face, down to the tower of books, up to the four empty rows on my shelf, and then back to my face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She frowns and looks like she wants to say something, but then she doesn\u2019t. Instead, she stretches out her hand and pushes her phone toward me. \u201cIt\u2019s your father,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I shake my head so hard my braids whip around my face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She jabs the phone my way again. \u201cTake it. Take it,\u201d she mouths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNo, no, no,\u201d I mouth back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve never seen two mimes arguing, but I imagine it would look something like this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She moves out of the doorway and all the way into my room. I have just enough space to dart around her, so I do. I sprint down our small hallway and lock myself in the bathroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mom\u2019s inevitable knock comes ten seconds later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I open the door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She looks at me and sighs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I sigh back at her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of our communication these days comes in the form of these small exhalations. Hers are Frustrated and Long Suffering and Exasperated and Impatient and Disappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mine are Confused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYvette Antoinette Thomas,\u201d she says. \u201cHow long are you going to keep this up?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer to her question\u2014and I think it\u2019s a fair one\u2014is forever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forever is how long I\u2019m going to be angry at Dad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Really, the better question is: Why isn\u2019t she?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She slips the phone back into her apron pocket. There\u2019s a dusting of flour on her forehead and some in her short Afro, making it look like she suddenly went gray.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou giving away more books?\u201d she asks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I nod.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou used to love them,\u201d she says. The way she says it, you\u2019d think I was setting them on fire instead of donating them to the library.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I meet her eyes. It feels like maybe we\u2019re having a moment. If she\u2019s willing to talk about me giving away my books, then maybe she\u2019s willing to talk about something real, like Dad and the divorce and how things have been since.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMom\u2014\u201d I begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But she shifts her eyes from mine, wipes her hands down the front of her apron and interrupts me. \u201cDanica and I are going to make brownies,\u201d she says. \u201cCome down and help us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The baking\u2019s new. She started the day Dad moved out of our old house, and she hasn\u2019t stopped since. If she\u2019s not on shift at the hospital, she\u2019s baking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m meeting Martin and Sophie and Cassidy tonight. We\u2019re supposed to start planning our road trip.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou spend more time out of the house than in it these days,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I never know what to do when she says something like that. It\u2019s not a question and not an accusation, but it has a little bit of both in it. Instead of answering, I stare at her apron. It reads Kiss the Cook and has a drawing of two enormous red lips smacking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s true that I\u2019m not home much these days. The thought of spending the next few hours baking with her and my sister, Danica, fills me not with despair exactly, but something close to it. Danica will be dressed perfectly for the occasion\u2014a vintage-style apron with a matching chef\u2019s hat that sits in the middle of her Afro poufs. She\u2019ll talk about her latest boyfriend, who she is (very) excited about. Mom will tell gory emergency room stories and insist on playing reggae music, something old-school like Peter Tosh or Jimmy Cliff. Or\u2014if Danica gets her way\u2014they\u2019ll play trip-hop while Danica documents the whole thing for social media. They\u2019ll both pretend that everything is just completely okay with our family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything is not okay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mom sighs again and rubs her forehead. The flour dust spreads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere\u2019s flour,\u201d I say, reaching to wipe it away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She dodges my hand. \u201cLeave it. It\u2019s just going to keep getting dirty anyway.\u201d Mom\u2019s originally from Jamaica. She moved here when she was fourteen with Grandma and Grandpa. The only time she has a Jamaican accent is when she\u2019s nervous or upset. Right now her accent is slight, but it\u2019s there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She turns and goes back downstairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I get dressed, I try not to think about our not-quite-an-argument but end up thinking about it anyway. Why was she so upset with me for giving away the last of my romance books? It\u2019s like she\u2019s disappointed in me for not being the same person I was a year ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But of course I\u2019m not the same person. How could I be? I wish I were as unaffected by the divorce as she and Danica are. I wish I could bake with them, carefree. I wish I could go back to being the girl who thought her parents, especially her dad, could do no wrong. To being the girl who hoped to have a love just like theirs when she grew up. I used to believe in happily-ever-afters because they had one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I want to go back and unknow all the things I know now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But you can\u2019t unknow things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can\u2019t unknow that Dad cheated on Mom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can\u2019t unknow that he left us all for another woman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mom misses the version of me that used to love those books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I miss her too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b>Chapter 2<\/b><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>(Former) Favorite Romance Genres<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contemporary<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Enemies to Lovers\u2014Asking the perennial question will they kill each other or will they kiss each other? I\u2019m kidding. Of course they\u2019re going to kiss.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Love Triangle\u2014Everyone loves to hate love triangles, but actually they\u2019re great. They exist so the main character can choose between different versions of themselves: who they used to be, and who they\u2019re still becoming. Side note: If you ever find yourself choosing between a vampire and a werewolf, choose the vampire. See #1 below for more on why you should (obviously) choose the vampire.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Second Chance\u2014These days I realize this is the most unrealistic trope. If someone hurts you once, why would you give them the chance to do it again?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paranormal<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Vampires\u2014They\u2019re sexy and will love you forever.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Angels\u2014They have wings that they\u2019ll use to envelop you or to take you away from this place to wherever you need to be.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Shape-shifters\u2014Jaguars and leopards mostly, but basically anything in the big cat family. I once tried reading about dinosaur shape-shifters. T. rexes, pteranodons, apatosauruses, etc. They are as horrifying as you think they are.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><b>Chapter 3<\/b><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Give a Book, Take a Book<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the time I get downstairs the next morning, Mom\u2019s already left for her shift at the hospital. Danica is at the dining table taking pictures of the brownies she and Mom made. They\u2019re arranged into a pyramid on one of Mom\u2019s fancy new cake platters. Danica is from the jaunty-angle school of picture taking. She tilts her phone and circles the brownie pyramid, taking picture after jaunty picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I get myself cereal and sit at the table next to her. We\u2019ve been in this apartment for six months, but it still feels temporary, like I\u2019m just visiting. I keep waiting to get back to my real life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to our old house, this place is small. I miss having our own private backyard. Now we share a courtyard with twelve other apartments. Our house had two bathrooms, but now we only have one. Mostly, though, I miss how every room held our memories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Danica settles on a photo and slides her phone to me so I can see her post. \u201cYou can\u2019t even tell they\u2019re burnt,\u201d she says with pride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She\u2019s right. They do look perfect. I scroll through her posts. There\u2019s a selfie of her and Mom dusted with flour, holding a big block of chocolate and laughing, that makes me wish I\u2019d stayed and helped. I read through the hashtags\u2014#motherdaughterbakenight #blackgirlmagicbaking #perfectbrowniesareperfect\u2014before sliding the phone back to her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow come you\u2019re not at brunch?\u201d she asks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually I spend Sunday mornings with my best friends at Surf City Waffle, the absolute best waffle place in all of Los Angeles. This morning, though, they\u2019re all busy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEveryone\u2019s got stuff,\u201d I say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSo you\u2019re just gonna hang around here, then?\u201d she asks, and not in a way that makes me think she wants me to hang around here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I drop my spoon back into the bowl and take a good look at her. Most days, she looks like a supermodel from the \u201970s with her enormous Afro, bright glittery makeup, and vintage clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right now she looks even more beautiful than usual. If I had to guess, I\u2019d say she has a date. But I don\u2019t have to guess, because the doorbell rings a second later. A huge smile breaks across her face, and she runs to the door with a squeal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the last year, Danica has had eight different boyfriends, which is an average of 0.667 boyfriends per month or 0.154 boyfriends per week. Anyway, my problem is not the quantity or even the quality of her boyfriends (to be clear, the quality could be better. I don\u2019t know why she chooses boys who are so much less interesting and smart than she is), it\u2019s the fact that she\u2019s dating at all. Why am I the only one who learned the lesson of Mom and Dad\u2019s divorce?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I leave my bowl on the table and try to sneak through the living room so I can avoid saying hello. No luck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHey, Evie,\u201d says the guy. He says \u201chey\u201d as if it has more than one syllable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHi,\u201d I say back, trying to remember his name. He\u2019s dressed in board shorts and a sleeveless T-shirt, like he\u2019s going to the beach or just got back from it. He\u2019s white, tall, and muscled, with long, messy blond hair. If he were furniture, he\u2019d be a really nice-looking shag carpet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We stand there awkwardly for a few seconds before Danica puts us all out of our misery. \u201cBen and I are thinking of going to the movies,\u201d she says. \u201cYou can come if you want.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the look on both their faces tells me two things:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#1: They are not thinking of going to the movies. They are thinking of staying here. Alone. In the apartment. So they can make out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#2: If they were going to the movies, they wouldn\u2019t want me tagging along.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why did she even ask? Is she feeling sorry for me?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCan\u2019t. Have fun, though,\u201d I say. The only thing I have to do today is go to the library and get rid of my books, but sharing that will make me feel pathetic. I go upstairs and get dressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I leave, I say bye like it has more than just the one syllable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
