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
just friends. Best friends. They spent entire summers sitting on Shiloh's porch steps dreaming
about the future. Shiloh was going to become an actress and Cary was going to join the Navy.
And nothing was ever going to change between them - Shiloh made him promise. Well Shiloh did
go to college and Cary did join the Navy. But somehow everything changed. Now it's been
fourteen years since Shiloh last spoke to Cary. She's been married and divorced. She has two
kids. And she's back in north Omaha living in the same house she grew up in. Her life is
nothing like she planned. When Shiloh gets invited to an old friend's wedding all she can
think about is whether Cary will be there - and whether she hopes 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. ---- 'Deeply human
