Katie has drawn up a romantic playlist for us, and this is what she said about it:
This started in my head as a fluffy Sawyer-and-Reena themed V-day playlist, but somehow devolved into a giant angst-fest? JUST LIKE HOW TO LOVE. Happy (weepy) listening!

How to Love - Katie Cotugno
Released: October 1, 2013
Publisher: Baltzer + BraySynopsis: Before: Reena Montero has loved Sawyer LeGrande for as long as she can remember: as natural as breathing, as endless as time. But he's never seemed to notice that Reena even exists until one day, impossibly, he does. Reena and Sawyer fall in messy, complicated love. But then Sawyer disappears from their humid Florida town without a word, leaving a devastated-and pregnant-Reena behind.
After: Almost three years have passed, and there's a new love in Reena's life: her daughter, Hannah. Reena's gotten used to being without Sawyer, and she's finally getting the hang of this strange, unexpected life. But just as swiftly and suddenly as he disappeared, Sawyer turns up again. Reena doesn't want anything to do with him, though she'd be lying if she said Sawyer's being back wasn't stirring something in her. After everything that's happened, can Reena really let herself love Sawyer LeGrande again?

The Author...
Katie Cotugno went to Catholic school for thirteen years which makes her, as an adult, both extremely superstitious and prone to crushes on boys wearing blazers. She routinely finds herself talking about the romantic endeavors of characters on TV shows as if they actually exist in the world.
Katie is a Pushcart Prize nominee whose work has appeared in The Broadkill Review, The Apalachee Review, and Argestes, as well as on Nerve.com. Her first novel, HOW TO LOVE, is due out from Balzer + Bray on October 1st, 2013.
The great loves of Katie's life include child's pose, her little sister, and mozzarella and honey sandwiches. She lives in Boston (and in sin) with her boyfriend, Tom.

Just a Kiss by Lady Antebellum! It's so sweet and real and I love the sentiment :)
ReplyDeleteHave heard awesome things about Katie Cotugno's book!!
Thank you:)
Thanks for holding this giveaway! I don't really have an ultimate love song. The only love song I could think of right now is I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have an ultimate love song. The majority of the songs I love that to talk about love, are usually about heartbreak...which is depressing.

ReplyDeleteI'd say: Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood.
My ultimate love song is Love is Easy by McFly!
ReplyDeleteMine would be Making Love Out of Nothing At All by Air Supply. It's an 80s power ballad that I wasn't even old enough to understand when it came out, but I've grown to love it.
