I finished reading Slow Dance by Rainbow Rowell. I was lucky enough to receive an arc of it in exchange for an honest review. Rowell is one of my favorite authors and I own most of her books in hardback. Her characters and how they talk are something I’ll never get tired of reading. They seem real, but not too real. They still have the fictional glow, if you know what I mean. I reread Attachments every couple of years because I love the characters so much. I think Slow Dance could have been like that for me, but one of the main issues between the characters was lack of communication. The two characters had different communication techniques, but assumed they didn’t, it was years of miscommunication, and that’s one of my least favorite tropes. I really can’t stand it and because of that Slow Dance was my least favorite Rowell book and I’m rating it 3.5 stars. Which is honestly not a bad rating it just stands out since every other book of hers I’ve read I’ve given five stars. Still very well written, great dialogue, interesting characters, just not always my cup of tea.

3.5/5
