Slow dance. Rainbow Rowell. 2024.

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 train to be an actress and Caryndid 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 Northern 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 if he is, whether they can find their way back to each other?
