Summary
Coming in 2024 from Rainbow Rowell, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor & Park, a novel of love and true friendship
'SEXY, SWEET, WISE AND NOSTALGIC - JANE AUSTEN'S PERSUASION FOR OUR TIMES’ GABRIELLE ZEVIN
‘A GORGEOUS book . . . a beautiful, believable love story between two slightly broken people. So SWEET, but never sentimental. I YEARNED for them to be happy and I miss it now it's over’ MARIAN KEYES

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.
