Reviews"Rowell is talented enough to be uncategorizable. . . . Landline belongs to a genre of its very own." -- New York Times "Rowell pulls off this impossible premise with great charm, and her depictions of the couple's sweet courtship and their later compromise-filled marriage are equally unsentimental and knowing." -- The New Yorker on Landline "Her writing swings from profane to profound, but it's always real and always raw." -- NPR on Eleanor & Park "The funny, wised-up dialogue, the tumultuous, sweet, and sexy love story is grade-A Rowell . . . a book that readers will find almost impossible to put down." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Carry On "Perfectly mixing sweet romance with deliciously tart wit, Rowell's literary debut is a complete charmer." -- Chicago Tribune on Attachments, "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." -- Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author "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 may even people you've been. Slow Dance is sexy, sweet, wise, and nostalgic - Jane Austen's Persuasion for our times." -- Gabrielle Zevin, New York Times bestselling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow "Deeply human, profoundly romantic. 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." -- Leigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author "[Shiloh and Cary's] dance is sweet and sexy, and Rowell draws out the whole, simmering affair as she ping-pongs through her characters' past and present, step, together, step, together. . . Superstar Rowell's first adult novel since Landline (2014) is big news, and this romantic one is sure to be a crowd-pleaser." -- Booklist (starred review) "A gorgeous book. Slow Dance by Rainbow Rowell is a beautiful, believable love story between two slightly broken people. It was so sweet, but never sentimental. I yearned for them to be happy, and I miss it now it's over." -- International bestselling author Marian Keyes? "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 "Rowell takes her time revealing the couple's origins as high-school besties, the conflicts they helped each other through as teens in working-class families and those they're dealing with now, the long period of silence between them, and the undeniable glimmers of their enduring mutual attraction. Their dance is sweet and sexy, and Rowell draws out the whole, simmering affair as she ping-pongs through her characters' past and present. . . . [Slow Dance is] sure to be a crowd-pleaser." -- Booklist (starred review) "Rich, real, and emotionally raw, this satisfying contemporary is sure to impress." -- Publishers Weekly "Rowell pulls off this impossible premise with great charm, and her depictions of the couple's sweet courtship and their later compromise-filled marriage are equally unsentimental and knowing." -- The New Yorker on Landline "Rowell is talented enough to be uncategorizable. . . . Landline belongs to a genre of its very own." -- New York Times "Her writing swings from profane to profound, but it's always real and always raw." -- NPR on Eleanor & Park "The funny, wised-up dialogue, the tumultuous, sweet, and sexy love story is grade-A Rowell . . . a book that readers will find almost impossible to put down." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Carry On "Perfectly mixing sweet romance with deliciously tart wit, Rowell's literary debut is a complete charmer." -- Chicago Tribune on Attachments

SynopsisA REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell comes Slow Dance-- her smartest, funniest, most powerful novel yet "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 you've been. Slow Dance is sexy, sweet, wise, and nostalgic--Jane Austen's Persuasion for our times." -- Gabrielle Zevin, New York Times bestselling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow Shiloh Butler was supposed to get out of north Omaha. She used to sit out on the front porch with her best friend, Cary, and plot their escape. Shiloh was going to be an actress - she had a scholarship to a good school - and Cary was laser-focused on the Navy. Sharp, stoic, golden-eyed Cary . . . thin as a stick of gum and poor as dirt. He was probably the most decent person Shiloh has ever known. She hasn't spoken to him in fourteen years. When Shiloh gets an invitation to a high school friend's wedding, Cary is the first and only thing on her mind. She desperately wants to see him again, but she doesn't know if she can bear being seen by him. What would Cary think of Shiloh at thirty-three? A divorced mom living in the same house she grew up in. Someone who works behind a desk, not onstage. Would Cary even want to see Shiloh after all this time? After everything ? The answer, it turns out, is yes. In her triumphant return to adult fiction, Rainbow Rowell has written a love story so honest and human - so cathartic - you'll feel it in your bones. Slow Dance is as sharp and compassionate as you'd expect from Rowell. Deeply, profoundly romantic, it's a power ballad of a book., A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell comes Slow Dance--her smartest, funniest, most powerful novel yet "If you, like me, think thirty-somethings methodically working through their issues is very hot, Slow Dance is the book for you.
