Description
Coming in 2024 from Rainbow Rowell, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor & Park, a novel of love and true friendship
‘A powerful and poignant tale of first love . . . Rich, real, and emotionally raw, this satisfying contemporary is sure to impress’ - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
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.

Francesca W, Reviewer
If you felt a bit bereft after watching One Day - then this is the book for you! A beautifully written ‘will they, won’t they’, full of loveable characters, touching moments and a few cheeky laughs. I didn’t want to put it down and was desperate to devour it in one go. Highly recommend.
Farah G, Reviewer
A gorgeous story of two friends, Cary and Shiloh, who could have, should have, may potentially have been something more to each other, Slow Dance is a warm, witty book that shows how Rainbow Rowell has earned her considerable reputation for insightful story telling.
I loved Fangirl, and this story - though targeted at a more mature audience - nevertheless has a similar kind of charm and is equally memorable. Well worth checking out.
