Editorial Reviews
“Witty, humane, and ruthlessly honest. Woodward has written the most devastatingly modern love story of our time — one that will leave you aching with longing even as it breaks your heart in two.”
—Kathleen Tessaro, The New York Times bestselling author
“Ninety Days Without You's characters struggle with addiction - to chemicals, to love, to sex. They yearn for human connection, for stability amid the chaos of their lives and relationships, and Woodward tells their stories with compassion and brutal honesty. They are irredeemably human, with flaws, failures, and even triumphs, and this book will leave you wanting a sequel!”
—Aliza Freud, Founder & CEO, SheSpeaks
“Reading Ninety Days Without You is like getting a new pair of prescription glasses. At first they hurt your eyes, but then your vision becomes so clear, you can’t imagine life without them.
If you struggle with relationships and don’t know why, this book will make it clear. Though not everyone suffers with addiction, we’ve all been sold a fantasy of what love and marriage should look like.
A thrilling read, this book will change how you see your relationship, and everyone else’s.”
—Rose Viggiano, Relationship & Attachment Specialist, Awakening Relationships“
5 stars. What a book. I couldn’t put it down. Not only does it keep you hooked, but it also beautifully describes the all too familiar and rampant subtleties of sex and love addiction that are so rife and so hidden in our world. These could be difficult topics, but because the author has them running through and essentially forming the basis of a page-turning love story, she has made these topics readable, relatable and understandable. A great read for anyone wanting a deep, heartfelt romance novel. A great read for anyone finding romantic relationships tricky but who doesn’t have time for a dense psychology book. And a great read for anyone already familiar with recovery fellowships. I’m looking forward to book number two please!”

“Nora Ephron mixed with Dorothy Parker after a bad night out with a ray of sunlight coming in through a dirty window.”
—Donna Sharpe, Screenwriter
“Jennifer writes sharp and vivid dialogue which always brilliantly puts you into the minds and hearts of the characters she creates. In my time working with her it quickly became apparent to me that she not only has a strong grasp of structure, but crucially, knows when to break the rules which is something, in my opinion, that only instinct can teach.”
