Getting a blurb from the AMAZING Anne Fortier, New York Times -Best Selling author of last year’s blockbuster, JULIET, has been scientifically proven to make your head spin.
“Strap on your time-jumping goggles and fasten the seatbelt of your favorite armchair ... Samantha Sotto is going to take you on a rollercoaster ride that will leave your teacup hanging in mid-air. I was floored by the gutsy scope of this highly unusual love tragicomedy, and loved the spunky writing that strings together the rambunctious plot. BEFORE EVER AFTER is one of those books that challenges the natural laws of fiction writing, but in a frisky and highly entertaining way.”

oooh, this is super exciting, as soon as I read what your book was about I immediately thought of the writers such as Fortier. I smell a future bestseller, darling, with your upcoming book ;) Is your publisher thinking about selling the film rights as well?
W-O-W! O-M-G! That is beyond AMAZING! I am so excited for you Sam!!! Really, really happy for you! Cupid and I were just talking about you after watching tonight's Oprah episode...about how great it would be if Before Ever After makes it to Oprah's Book Club! It's a monthly thing, right? Aaaarrgh! August is just so, so far away! :((
Okay Samantha - you are a vocal supporter of mine with all your comments and I truly appreciate it - I've been lacking on my computer time and getting back - mother is still sucking up my time until tomorrow - at whick point I will bawl like a baby until she comes back again. I digress - I am here to give you the VERSTILE BLOGGER AWARD (now say that in your head with the echo of an announcer!) I love your blog! I can't wait to read your book (summer is coming fast!)
