Slow Dance by Rainbow Rowell
4.0
emotional funny hopeful slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Took me a while to get into it but when I did, I loved it. Expected a lot since I loved Rainbow Rowell as a teenager and wasn’t disappointed (once I got through the beginning slowness). Not sure the characters felt real but I was very happy to root for them.
Kept waiting for things to go wrong so the end was a relief - I was convinced Cary would die before they got married. Convinced!
