Order Slow Motion HERE

“I’ve never read a friendship story like this one. Jennifer Dupree writes with mordant humor, grand affection, and righteous rage in nearly equal amounts, giving us a vivid picture of what it means to both friends—the sanguine, wry, severely disabled Marcel and the emotionally messy, able-bodied Jen—to be accepted for exactly who they are. I felt not so much inspired by this story as welcomed into it.” 
​-Monica Wood, author of How to Read a Book
