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?
