Slow Dance

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.
