Romance has stepped fully into the limelight and is now taken as seriously as its popularity deserves. From romantasy to regency, romcom to red hot, the genre has something for everyone! But nobody writes love stories with more authenticity than Rainbow Rowell. From the title characters of her beloved Eleanor & Park to Shiloh and Cary, best friends who owe themselves more in Slow Dance, Rainbow has spent a career perfecting the art of the slow burn. Relationships are flawed and messy and love doesn’t ignite at first sight. The characters fight for a happy ending, and as readers we can’t help but fight for them too.

Presenter: Rainbow Rowell
