Slow Dance

Fourteen years apart. One unexpected reunion. Is it too late to rewrite their love story?

A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK

'Sexy, sweet, wise and nostalgic - Jane Austen's Persuasion for our times' Gabrielle Zevin

'A gorgeous book . . . a beautiful, believable love story between two slightly broken people. So sweet, but never sentimental. I yearned for them to be happy and I miss it now it's over' Marian Keyes

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.
