"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."
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 * 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 * 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 * This slow-burn romance follows Shiloh and Cary, best friends who fell in love in their late teens, then split. In their 30s, they find themselves drawn together again, but will their history of misunderstandings get in the way? I loved this for its realism and the flawed, complicated characters. * Good Housekeeping * Rainbow Rowell has an incredible ability to hide an emotional wallop in the middle of a light and romantic story * Cosmopolitan * Rainbow writes such complicated, quirky characters - it's a great one -- - * Today Show * A beautiful 'will they, won't they' love story from the author of Eleanor & Park. . . . I loved these characters and the realness of their story * Prima * Rainbow Rowell returns with a gorgeous, slow-burn second-chance love story . . . Raw, real and romantic, this got me right in the feels * Red * '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 * If you adored One Day, make this your next read * Sun *
