'SEXY, SWEET, WISE AND NOSTALGIC - JANE AUSTEN'S PERSUASION FOR OUR TIMES GABRIELLE ZEVIN

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 theyre actually supposed to be to each other.

Told with Rowells 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.

Slow Dance Reviews

If you, like me, think thirty-somethings methodically working through their issues is very hot, Slow Dance is the book for you. The people in it feel like people you know or maybe even people youve been. Slow Dance is sexy, sweet, wise, and nostalgicJane Austens Persuasion for our times * Gabrielle Zevin *
Who can deny the absolute, dizzy pleasure of loving a novel so much that you cannot bear to put it down, that you want to do nothing but keep flipping pages, that you want to immerse yourself fully and not come up for air until you are finished. I read Slow Dance in just that way, breathless and weeping. There is no one better than Rainbow at creating flawed, deeply human people. I loved every page of Slow Dance, a book that is romantic to its core, and as funny and smart as its wonderful characters. I will miss being in this world. * Emma Straub *
