“Rowell makes a triumphant return to adult fiction…. Guaranteed to make hearts flutter, likely while bringing tears to readers’ eyes.”  –Library Journal

From the #1 bestselling author of “Eleanor & Park” and the Simon Snow trilogy, Rainbow Rowell presents a bright, beaming power ballad of a novel. “Slow Dance” tells the humorous and heartbreaking love story of best friends Shiloh and Cary from their inseparable teen years to their far-flung adulthoods as they try to figure out what their relationship is, where it went wrong, and how to finally make it right.

“Slow Dance” is the story of two kids who fell in love before they knew enough about love to recognize it. Two friends who lost everything. Two adults who just feel lost.

Rainbow Rowell is the award-winning #1 New York Times bestselling author of “Eleanor & Park” and the Simon Snow Trilogy, plus several other novels, short stories, and comics.
