A review by val_theburrowofstories
Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon

Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.
(Tried to read this in December 2023) 
There were so many things that were bothering me and I'm glad I DNF it because I just read how this ends and I know it would've been a waste of my time and a 1 star book. 
But here is the list of things I didn't like:
  • The audiobook narrator (sorry!)
  • The daddy issues because he is a cheater and the reason her parents divorce
    and she is kind of forced to forgive him by the end because of social pressure????
  • The miscommunication with the mother because she won't talk about the divorce
  • She's a teenager, I thought it was an adult woman.
  • The writing  (not that I'm an expert on that, so it has to be really bad for me to notice that) 
  • It was boring as hell
  • There's this magical realism which is not my thing and even less if it's told in a boring way
  • The beginning was just so boring and not captivating at all.
  • And another thing I know I would've just hated from the ending but you're telling me this girl who didn't believe in happy endings and just saw everyone around her breaking up...
    will have her first love / new boyfriend killed!? as if this is a fantasy novel-
