Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A charming, wholehearted love story that's sure to make readers swoon."—Entertainment Weekly "Nicola Yoon writes from the heart in this beautiful love story."—Good Morning America “It’s like an emotional gut punch—so beautiful and also heart-wrenching."—US Weekly 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. Falling 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?

You CAN Ballroom Dance', I provide the facts so that you can make an informed decision about what is, and is not, possible when it comes to dancing. Whatever the excuse, you CAN dance...and I can prove it! In Section One, the excuses are debunked. A sad fact of the Western world is that many people mistakenly conclude that they can't couple dance because they can't move like Michael Jackson did. But they haven't been taught that ballroom dance requires different skills. Learn the rules, practice a little, and soon you will be dancing around the floor in happy abandon! This section was designed so that the one who wants to dance can give it to the one who doesn't want to dance, along with the words, "Just read the first section. If that doesn't convince you to at least give Couple Dance a try, I'll give you some peace." Section Two: Decision Made. Here I talk about the different dances and how they might be used. You will learn about the different types of lessons and how they are used to help you learn efficiently and quickly. You also learn how to determine if you have an honest studio, and a knowledgeable teacher. This is the meat of the book as it will give you the information, going in, to negotiate with knowledge of what you are getting into. Section Three is like a notebook of information I think it is useful for every student to have. Here you'll learn the difference between a slot, a spot, and a progressive dance. You'll learn a little about foot and room alignments, and why it's important to know these things. I discuss Dance frame, timing, and many other useful topics. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn... How to negotiate effectively with a studio or independent teacher How to overcome objections to learning to Ballroom Dance How to find partners, and ask them to dance How to find the right teacher What the different dances are and how you might use them How the different lessons work together How to become a teacher How to fire a teacher Much, much more!

But it can do even that, if you let it.
