I absolutely loved every second of my time reading it! Cary and Shiloh! What a love story! What a friendship! After 14 years without seeing and talking with each other, they’ve met at theirs friend Mikey’s wedding. They danced through the night and almost ended up in Shiloh’s bed. Their relationships were complicated, their lives were complicated! Shiloh is a single mom with two kids and with complicated relationship with her ex. After divorce she’s back home in Omaha living with her mother. Cary is in the navy. Throughout the book we get to know their past, their unique friendship and uncertain feelings for each other. It’s like everyone around them knew they were in love except for themselves! It’s also in third person’s pov and we get both Carys and Shilohs thoughts which I liked a lot. Fascinating story! Great love and very unique characters. Emotional. Shiloh and Cary felt so flawed and real! I’m so in love on how this book was written! So simple yet complex, professional, unique and one of a kind! Normally, I don’t like Time Jumps in books or movies but I LOVED the “Before’s” in this book! It just gives us bits of information when we need them. Such a great writing technique !!! This is how you write a book ! ! ! Fantastical! I couldn’t put it down but I tried to extend my reading and enjoyment. I’ll surely grub other Rainbow Rowell’s books. Amazing author! This book is out in July 2024 and if you’re reading this review, add it to your TBR. It’s amazing! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A bright, beaming power ballad of a novel from Rainbow Rowell--the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Landline, Fangirl, and Eleanor & Park--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. Growing up on the wrong side of Omaha, all Shiloh could think about was getting away. At least she had Cary in the meantime. Cary to put up with her, Cary to make her laugh. Cary at sixteen, built like a stick of gum and driving his mom's beat-up station wagon. He had it worse than Shiloh did. Only their friendship got Cary through high school and when Shiloh went off to college, he joined the Navy. That was fourteen years ago. Now Shiloh's thirty-three and feeling like she never did get away. She's back living in the same house she grew up in. She's working in a theater, but not onstage like she'd planned. And she's divorced, a single mom just like her own mother (minus the revolving door of boyfriends). When a high school friend invites Shiloh to his wedding, the last thing she wants is to catch up with the old gang. But she buys a new dress, puts on some makeup, and pins a silk flower over her heart, hoping--and also worrying-- that she might see Cary, the boy she never realized she loved until he was lost.

I really enjoyed this poignant and at times bittersweet story, and I loved watching the journey they went on. Hopefully it's not a spoiler to say they finally got their HEA, thank goodness. Just a warning that the POV kept changing, which was a little confusing at times but I'm very glad we got to see both perspectives. I liked the use of flashbacks to fill out pieces in their backstory and to further inform why Shiloh and Cary were drawn together as children and then back together as adults. I have read this author in the past and enjoyed her immensely (I highly recommend "Attachments"), and this newest book did not disappoint. Thank you to NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book, this is my honest and objective review. ( )
