Rainbow Rowell is back with her first adult novel in ten years in this uplifting novel about star-crossed lovers and the power of second chances
Everybody thought Shiloh and Cary would end up together - everybody but Shiloh and Cary.
Slow Dance follows these star-crossed best friends from their inseparable teen years on the wrong side of the tracks to their far-flung adulthoods - through her marriage and motherhood and his time in the Navy - as they try to work out what they're actually supposed to be to each other.
Told with Rowell's trademark sensitivity and abundant wit, Slow Dance is a big, beaming power ballad of a novel about a love so true, it refuses to be forgotten.
About the Author
The New York Times once called Rainbow Rowell "talented enough to be uncategorizable." She writes novels, comics, short stories . . . She's a #1 New York Times bestseller several times over, wrote an Indies Choice Book of the Year, and is a three-time Goodreads Choice Award winner. The thread that runs through all Rowell's work is her sunlit, knife-sharp empathy and unflagging sense of humor. She writes about life - and usually love - in a way that feels painfully, wonderfully real.
