The Sooner I Go

“Part grief narrative, part workplace drama, and part love story, the novel compellingly examines how loss, ambition, and mental health intersect and questions how one can move on in love when a traumatic past is still being reckoned with.”—Kirkus Reviews “The Sooner I Go is suspenseful, the kind of novel that is filled with mystery, skillfully examining the stigma of mental health, economic struggles, and false identity. The dialogue is delivered with wit, and the writing shines with terrific descriptions, making this story a breezy read.”—Readers’ Favorite, 5-star review “A steamy romance wrapped up in a who done it—the tension is HOT.”—Christine Stringer, author of Charity Trickett is Not So Glamorous “Cumiskey shows us why it’s never a safe bet to take people and circumstances at face value. Romance combines with intrigue in this plotline that’s refreshingly far from a formula romance.”—Shelley Grandy, author of Devious Web “A layered, original, and engaging read you won’t want to put down.”—Amy Blumenfeld, author of Such Good People
