Goodbye For NowWinner of the 2013 Endeavor Award
New York Times Editor's Choice If you could Zoom with your dead loved ones, would you? GOODBYE FOR NOW is a love story for the 21st century which takes the social network to the next level: the afterlife. It's a heartrending exploration of the nature of love, loss, and life, both real and computer-simulated. Maybe nothing was meant to last forever, but then again, sometimes love takes on a life of its own. "Frankel's clever and well-considered second novel extends the reach of technology just beyond our fingertips, where it feels possible." --The New York Times, Editor's Choice "Frankel is unafraid to take on big questions as she weaves together her entertaining and thought-provoking story. The result is an imaginative tale that explores life, love and what lasts." --BookPage "This is an unforgettable, heartbreaking novel about love after death, and is impossible to put down." --Image "A thought-provoking 2012 love story well-told." --Company "Beautifully written...brilliant." 5 stars --Heat "Frankel tells a touching story of how this young couple deals with a new love in a world full of loss and sadness. Her first novel, The Atlas of Love, was a wonderful, heartfelt read, and while this book has a completely different story line, it retains that emotional core. Frankel is an author to watch and definitely to keep in stock." --Library Journal (starred review) "The book is funny, touching, and oh-so-very sad. It accurately captures the tenderness of love, and the desperate, gut-wrenching emptiness of grief...It's the perfect book for computer geeks, romantics, coffee-lovers, and rainy beach walkers everywhere." --Digital Media Roundup |
