Thanks so much to all of our wonderful reviewers who got their reviews in on time! We love hearing what you guys think of our books.

We were delighted to see that overall, you guys were big fans of Instructions for Dancing.

Here are just a few quotes from your excellent reviews:


'Was this story beautiful? Yes. Did it ruin me? YES. It’s 1.30am and I’m sitting here crying but god I’m so glad I read this book. Watching Evie’s development and self realisation was beautiful, and I felt like I was right there with her. The writing style was gorgeous, the pace was excellent and the characters were so fleshed out and vivid!'

'I really enjoyed this one and found it very easy to read. I found I related so much to Evie. I too am a bit of a sceptic when it comes to love having been burned too many times in the past. Maybe all I need to do is sign up for ballroom dancing and I’ll find my true love!'

'This book is full of fun, but also gives you all the emotions that Nicola Yoon loves to slap you in the face with . . . It’s a total must read in my books.'

'This book was utterly amazing, I couldn't put it down and when I reached the end I was in a puddle of tears in the best way possible. As a fan of Nicola Yoon's previous work, this book met and exceeded my expectation. Though be prepared for the ending!!!'
-Sophie

'Because this is a Nicola Yoon novel it was diverse, it had relatable characters going through challenging experiences. It made me think, it surprised me. . It made me laugh and it made me CRY.'

'I found the themes in this novel really important, and I feel that through Evie’s story, I have realised a lot about just how important life is and living in the moment without worrying about what the future may hold. The characters were all interesting and it was enjoyable getting to know them all throughout the book. I loved the dialogue and relationships between the characters.'
- Ciara

'I cannot rave about this book so much, it flowed so well and had me hooked from the beginning. I love Nicola Yoon, I love her writing and the way she can hold my captivation from start to end. If you're looking for a pick-me-up book, something to get you out of a reading slump, or just something new, consider picking this one up!'
-Piper

So good!! Must give it a read!
