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
'Deeply human, profoundly romantic. Rowell will break your heart and you'll thank her for it' LEIGH BARDUGO
----
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.
----
Who can deny the absolute, dizzy pleasure of loving a novel so much . . . I loved every page of Slow Dance, a book that is romantic to its core, and as funny and smart as its wonderful characters' EMMA STRAUB
'A will-they, won't-they second chance romance for the ages, this one is poised to be one of summer's breakout hits' PEOPLE
'A powerful and poignant tale of first love . . . Rich, real, and emotionally raw, this satisfying contemporary is sure to impress' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Praise for Rainbow Rowell
'Rowell is talented enough to be uncategorizable' New York Times
'Cracking, laugh-out-loud dialogue, characters that feel painfully real' Jodi Picoult
'Reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book' John Green
