‘A powerful and poignant tale of first love . . . Rich, real, and emotionally raw, this satisfying contemporary is sure to impress’
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.
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
'A will-they, won't-they second chance romance for the ages, this one is poised to be one of summer's breakout hits'
Praise for Rainbow Rowell
Rowell is talented enough to be uncategorizable
Cracking, laugh-out-loud dialogue, characters that feel painfully real
Reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book
A breathless, achingly good read about love and outsiders
This sexy, smart, tender romance thrums with punk rock and true love. Teen readers--not to mention their Gen X parents--will swoon
Sweet, gritty and affecting...an unforgettable story about two misfits in love
Rowell shows us the beauty in the broken
Reading [Rainbow Rowell's] work feels like listening to your hilariously insightful best friend tell her best stories
Rowell is, as always, a fluent and enjoyable writer--the pages whip by
Keen psychological insight and irrepressible humor
The dialogue flows naturally; it's zippy, funny, and fresh
A joy from sentence to sentence, and on that intimate level there's absolutely nothing unoriginal or clichéd in the way Rowell thinks. Her work is dense with moments of sharp observation...and humor
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.
