For Rainbow Rowell, I am always & unendingly going back to Omaha. Slow Dance is a careful build of character and emotion over a decade and a half of friendship; a minor chord and a major lift. It's Rowell's writing at its best, deep and emotive and questioning, always questioning, and letting the personalities fill in the blanks and find their own answers. Slow Dance is two messy, chaotic, people learning to love again, figuring out they knew how all along. You'll never want the song to end.
