Instructions for Dancing

 

Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon  YA

(from Amazon)  In this romantic page-turner from the author of Everything, Everything and The Sun is Also a Star, Evie has the power to see other people's romantic fates--what will happen when she finally sees her own?  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.

(My Review)  I thought this was a cute, solid little romance.  I like the addition of magical realism (her ability to see if a couple will stay together when they kiss), and how that added complications for her friendships and in her own romantic life.  Great read!
