If you, like me, think thirty-somethings methodically working through their issues is very hot, <i>Slow Dance</i> is the book for you. T<b>he people in it feel like people you know or maybe even people you’ve been</b>. <i>Slow Dance</i> is <b>sexy, sweet, wise, and nostalgic—Jane Austen’s <i>Persuasion </i>for our times</b>

Gabrielle Zevin

<b>Who can deny the absolute, dizzy pleasure of loving a novel so much</b> 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 <i>Slow Dance</i> 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 <i>Slow Dance</i>,<b> a book that is romantic to its core, and as funny and smart as its wonderful characters.</b> I will miss being in this world.

<b>Deeply human, profoundly romantic. </b>Rowell tackles the challenges of love lost and rediscovered with nuance and candor. She will break your heart and you’ll thank her for it

Back in high school, everybody thought Shiloh and Cary would end up together – everybody but Shiloh and Cary.

They were best friends, that’s all.

But, somehow, everything changed. Both left town – took different paths – and suddenly it’s fourteen years since Shiloh last spoke to Cary.

She’s been married, divorced, and is back living in the house she grew up in. But when she gets invited to an old friend’s wedding, all Shiloh can think about is whether Cary will be there – and whether she’s dreading or dreaming if he will be . . .

Slow Dance is the story of two kids who fell in love before they knew enough about love to recognize it. And what will happen when they try to make their way back to each other.

Om bidragsyterne

The New York Times once called Rainbow Rowell 'talented enough to be uncategorizable.' She writes novels, comics, short stories . . . She’s a #1 New York Times bestseller several times over, wrote an Indies Choice Book of the Year, and is a three-time Goodreads Choice Award winner. The thread that runs through all Rowell’s work is her sunlit, knife-sharp empathy and unflagging sense of humor. She writes about life – and usually love – in a way that feels painfully, wonderfully real. Visit rainbowrowell.com to learn more.
