Advance Praise for Everything After
“An emotional and uplifting tale of great love and great loss, and
the seductive power of second chances. Nobody does page-turning,
heart-wrenching love stories quite like Jill Santopolo.” —Rosie
Walsh, author of Ghosted
“[A] profound contemporary romance…Santopolo crafts an
unconventional but realistic love triangle by celebrating her
characters’ flaws and grounding the story in earnest emotion. This
moving tale is sure to entice.” –Publishers Weekly
"Jill Santopolo writes so beautifully and powerfully about love and
life, with all its twists and turns, imperfections and
unpredictability. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you
reconnected with your first love (and haven’t we all?) then this
story is for you. Two intertwined love stories written with such
depth and emotion that you want them both to work out. But that’s
just not possible...." —Clare Pooley, author of The
Authenticity Project
“Santopolo draws tears with this one, even from the least
sentimental readers.” –Palm Beach Daily News
“Offer this to fans of women’s stories like those by Rebecca Serle
and Taylor Jenkins Reid, readers who appreciate a good “what
if...?” and those who like interpersonal drama set in New York
City.” –Booklist
“More than just a love triangle, the story explores difficult
topics ranging from grief and loss to self-doubt and suicide…[a]
romantic tale about the importance of compromise and growth in
relationships.” –Kirkus Reviews
“A thoughtful, life-affirming exploration of choice, regret and
missed opportunity. I’m sure we all have a sense of that life
unlived; whether it would have been better or more fulfilling to
have taken another fork in the road, and this book allows that
longing to play out, with all the subsequent messiness and
upheaval. Santopolo deftly untangles those knots in the necklace,
arriving at a rich and satisfying conclusion.” —Beth Morrey, author
of The Love Story of Missy Carmichael
“Emotional and uplifting, Everything After poses powerful questions
about dreams and regrets, choices and second chances. Emily’s
journey is a compelling and heartfelt exploration of marriage,
honesty and staying true to yourself when life has other ideas. A
book that will resonate with so many, and a must-read for anyone
who’s ever asked themselves, What if?" —Holly Miller, author of The
Sight of You
