I wanted to let you all know that I have a new book coming out this summer. Random House is publishing, and it will be on shelves in stores June 28th. I wanted the people who have followed, supported, written in, and shared your stories with me over these last several years to know a little about the book before it arrives. This is a personal memoir that takes place over a six-month period of time when I was a senior in high school. I promised my mother when I was seventeen that I would never tell anyone I had this experience, and I kept that promise to her until now. Before she passed, I asked her how she would feel if I wrote my story, and she said, “You do what you want sweetheart- Look at you now”. I am really proud and excited about being able to share and stand behind a part of my life that helped so much to define who I am today- I hope you will enjoy the journey. Thank you so much for being a part of my work and making it feel meaningful-Here are links to pre-order – if you want to take a peek or order-
I’ll send a reminder closer to the release date, and I hope to see you all at a signing this summer!
Cheers and Peace,
LIZ

ADVANCED PRAISE
KIRKUS REVIEW
“An unsentimental yet moving coming-of-age memoir.”
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“This coming-of-age memoir is authentic and unforgettable”
Best selling Author Elizabeth Berg
“Most of all it is a subtle, graceful, story about how sometimes the worst things in our lives work best to shape our characters into something shining and true. I will never forget this book, I really, really loved it.”
Award Winning author Darin Strauss
“Liz Pryor’s story is shocking, moving, riveting and, ultimately, inspiring. She writes like a natural, can balance humor and sorrow perfectly, and in Look at You Now, has written a pitch-perfect memoir.”—Darin Strauss
