Nicola Yoon
An Instant Number-One New York Times Best Seller
"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 pause-resister 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?

It was a slow build in the beginning and I wondered if I had made a mistake while listening to the first two chapters and trying to see where the story was going. When I got to chapter three, I was hooked and thankful that I had already completed my assignments for my course this week.
Evie (I don’t know if that’s the correct spelling since I only listened) is a senior in H.S. who is struggling with the thought of love after the dissolution of her parent’s marriage. She gets rid of all her favorite romance novels at a “give one, take one” outdoor library. Later she starts to see people’s love story from start to finish and vows to keep heartbreak out of her life by blocking love. She starts learning how to dance and meets a guy, BUT this is not a love story...
Bravo to Nicola Yoon for another really good book. The anguish that Evie felt around chapter 41 was so real I wanted to hug her. If you knew your love story, from start to finish, from a loving kiss, would you be willing to keep falling in love?
