Editorial Reviews

Richard Vetere

"You would be hard pressed to find an intelligent, well-written romantic novel today. It's been several decades since The Notebook was a huge success. Along with that genre of Romantic Comedy has all but vanished in Hollywood. Anthony Sciarratta with his Finding Forever successfully bucks the trend. In his streamlined novel people do meet, they do fall in love and their partners not only bring them satisfaction, they also bring them stability. Set in an authentic working-class world, with flourishes of humor and modern angst, Finding Forever is a comforting and thoughtful read about romantic love."

Miles Fisher

"An insightful novel that depicts the difficulties a relationship can experience in spite of the love that's clearly present. Finding Forever doesn't pretend that love makes everything easy, and through the narrator's relationship with his newfound lover, it will show how all loving relationships are—at one time or another—confronted with the question: what is love worth? A truly profound question posed to us readers by a remarkably young writer."

Kim Russo

"Finding Forever may be fictional, but its story is jam-packed with soulful truths and powerful insights. In this rare gem, the author tells of one man's internal struggles as he navigates growing up during the 1970s. With a string of serendipitous events, resulting in an impactful plot twist, the young author brings us on a delightful journey of inspiration and simultaneously teaches us the biggest truth of all: There is only one power that can transform souls and carry us through from the brink of darkness to the brilliant light of our soul. It is the only power we are all ultimately searching for and that is the power of LOVE. Bravo to the young author, Anthony Sciarratta, for understanding these truths at a very young age and for bringing them directly to us through this incredible love story."
