Slow Dance
The two friends everyone expected to end up together meet again at thirty-three, after the years took them elsewhere.
Shiloh and Cary were the pair everyone assumed would end up together and never did, and at thirty-three they meet again at a wedding, one divorced with two children and the other in the Navy. Rowell writes the specific ache of a friendship that was always slightly more, and refuses to pretend the intervening years were a detour. Middle-aged romance with the same close attention she brings to teenagers.

It’s so nostalgic that it made me go digging for my high school prom pic.
