Instructions for Dancing

An endearing, affecting portrayal of the journey of love.
Everything Yoon touches turns to gold… this cinematic supernatural
romance will be no exception’ Booklist

Evie is disillusioned
about love ever since her dad left her mum for another woman – she’s
even throwing out her beloved romance novel collection.

When she’s given a copy of a book called Instructions for Dancing,
and follows a note inside to a dilapidated dance studio, she discovers
she has a strange and unwelcome gift. When a couple kisses in front of
her, she can see their whole relationship play out – from the moment
they first catch each other’s eye to the last bitter moments of their
break-up.

For Evie, it confirms everything she thinks she knows about love – that it doesn’t last.

But
at the dance studio she meets X – tall, dreadlocked, fascinating – and
they start to learn to dance, together. Can X help break the spell that
Evie is under? Can he change Evie’s mind about love?
