Praise for Goodbye For Now " Like the film The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , Frankel's clever and well-considered second novel extends the reach of technology just beyond our fingertips, where it feels possible. In this slightly magical world, her characters remain simple, which allows her to lavish attention on RePose and its implications." - The New York Times Book Review "Frankel presents a fascinating concept as she keenly and sensitively explores themes of love and loss in this tearjerker centered on technology that pushes the boundaries of artificial intelligence. A compelling novel that tugs at the heartstrings; keep tissues handy." -- Booklist (Starred) "The Social Network meets One Day in an attractive love-and-loss story that applies new technology to the job of soothing broken hearts.There's no denying Frankel's warmth, wit and ingenuity in this cleverly conceived charmer." -- Kirkus Reviews "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) "If you like your love stories modern, clever, and a little weepy (think One Day ), you will adore this." -- Redbook's Sizzling Summer Reading List "Computer science flirts with sci-fi when a programmer creates software that (almost) lets the living talk with the departed." -- Sacramento Bee     "Clever, funny, moving, intelligent, Goodbye For Now is about love and loss, real live emotions and human relationships in a cyber world taken to its extreme. Will Laurie Frankel's wonderful book capture your heart and imagination? Absolutely. You will laugh; you will cry. And you will probably start video chatting with your loved ones daily, just in case an inspired computer genius jumps on Frankel's idea." -- Garth Stein, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain " Goodbye For Now is a fabulous, original read--very funny, yet so sad and thought-provoking too.

I couldn't put it down." --Liane Moriarty, bestselling author of What Alice Forgot   "Somewhere in the middle of Goodbye For Now, I found myself getting angry at Laurie Frankel for moving so seamlessly between hilarious and devastating, and for making me feel so deeply for her characters. I offer this as both recommendation and warning: this book will engross you and affect you, and you should know that you won't be putting it down unchanged." --Carolyn Parkhurst, New York Times   bestselling author of The Dogs of Babel and The Nobodies Album.
