Review
It Isn't Cheating if He's Dead is the winner of the BigAl's Books and Pals 2014 Reader's Choice Award for women's fiction.
"With Suicide City, a Love Story, Julie Frayn came out of the gate with one of the best debut novels the indie publishing circuit ever produced. Then came this book -- a stunning follow-up of love, redemption, hope, and hurt that can only be described as 'Read this damn book. Now!'"
~ Scott Morgan, award-winning journalist and bestselling author.
"Julie Frayn shows once again how to write a novel that plays more like a movie. It Isn't Cheating if He's Dead is an accurate portrait of life after the loss of a loved one. The simple facts that healing has no timeline, there is no expiration date on grief, and tragedy can result in a positive outcome when those left behind choose to learn from their loss, are beautifully portrayed."
~ Amber Jerome-Norrgard, poet and bestselling author
"Ms. Frayn wields a deft hand when dealing with life's grit, yet warms the heart at the same time. Her voice is as fresh and real as her characters. Bravo."
~ Kymber Morgan, author of Wild for Cowboy and Shafted
