Una historia de amor divertida y conmovedora sobre segundas oportunidades, reencuentros y desencuentros... y sobre enmendar los errores del pasado.

Cuando crecía en el lado equivocado de Omaha, Shiloh sólo pensaba en escapar, en dejar todo atrás e iniciar una etapa más interesante en su vida. En aquel entonces al menos tenía a Cary: Cary la soportaba, Cary la hacía reír, aunque a los dieciséis, conduciendo la vieja camioneta de su mamá, Cary tenía las cosas peor que ella. Sólo su amistad logró que sobreviviera a la preparatoria... pero cuando ella se fue a la universidad, él se incorporó a la Marina.

Han pasado catorce años desde entonces. Ahora Shiloh tiene treinta y tres años... y no, nunca logró escapar; incluso ahora vive en la misma casa en la que pasó su niñez. Trabaja en el teatro, sí, pero no en el escenario, como soñaba. Y está divorciada: una mamá soltera, igual que su madre (pero sin la serie infinita de novios).

Cuando un amigo de la preparatoria la invita a su boda, lo último que Shiloh quiere es ver a sus amigos del pasado, pero compra un vestido, se pone maquillaje y se abotona una flor de terciopelo en el corazón, deseando (incluso a pesar de los nervios) encontrarse con Cary... a quien nunca se dio cuenta de que amaba, hasta que lo dejó ir.

Por la autora bestseller del New York Times de Eleanor & Park y Attachments, llega Slow Dance. Bailar lento una balada poderosa y brillante sobre un amor tan real que se rehúsa a ser olvidado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor & Park and Attachments comes Slow Dance--a bright, beaming power ballad of a novel about a love so true it refuses to be forgotten.

"Sexy, sweet, wise, and nostalgic - Jane Austen's Persuasion for our times." -- Gabrielle Zevin, New York Times bestselling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Back in high school, everybody thought Shiloh and Cary would end up together . . . everybody but Shiloh and Cary.

They were just friends. Best friends. Allies. They spent entire summers sitting on Shiloh's porch steps, dreaming about the future. They were both going to get out of north Omaha--Shiloh would go to go to college and become an actress, and Cary would join the Navy. They promised each other that their friendship would never change.

Well, Shiloh did go to college, and Cary did join the Navy. And yet, somehow, everything changed.

Now Shiloh's thirty-three, and it's been fourteen years since she talked to Cary. She's been married and divorced. She has two kids. And she's back living in the same house she grew up in. Her life is nothing like she planned.

When she's invited to an old friend's wedding, all Shiloh can think about is whether Cary will be there--and whether she hopes he will be. Would Cary even want to talk to her? After everything?

The answer is yes. And yes. And yes.

Slow Dance is the story of two kids who fell in love before they knew enough about love to recognize it. Two friends who lost everything. Two adults who just feel lost.

It's the story of Shiloh and Cary, who everyone thought would end up together, trying to find their way back to the start.
