[close] According to my readers, Last Exit to Montauk had them laughing and crying in the beat of just a few pages. It’s a coming-of-age romantic tale of young love, based in the 1980's and summertime on Long Island.

Though the main characters are in their late teens, this is not classified as a new-adult novel, though it certainly could appeal to readers in that category.

Instead, I see it as a love story for any age. And my readership thus far attests to that, talking about memories of first love, or Long Island, or summertime anywhere, or the icons of the 1980's—or all of the above.
It’s also received endorsements from some heavy-hitters in the book industry as well, please see below.

“Raw, real, and packed with heartfelt emotion, Last Exit to Montauk is a sentimental love story of a whirlwind romance that stands the test of time, spinning the perfect tale of the challenges and awkwardness of love at first sight.

One minute you’ll laugh, the next you’ll reach for a tissue. Full of twists and turns, the unforeseen twist at the end wrenches your heart, leaving you breathless, and reminding us all just how precious life truly is. We all have but one life. The magic is found in living it.”
– Cheryl Bradshaw, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Sloane Monroe mysteries.

“A romance that begins in the heat of a Long Island summer bares two young souls to new love, intimacy, and tragedy. Highly recommended!”
– Lawrence Kelter, bestselling author of BACK TO BROOKLYN, the sequel to My Cousin Vinny
