The high of giving your life over to love is exceptional.
Finding the Person to Complete You = Mission Accomplished.

Kat, a heartbroken American playwright, meets Charlie and is instantly smitten with his delightful British accent, his insight and humor, and his frank honesty at being 15-years sober. Finally, here's a man with the outgoing, fun-loving soul of an alcoholic—but he doesn't drink. A whirlwind transatlantic romance ensues. But what looks like love turns into the shock of Kat's life. Can she face the reality of his other illness? Can she come to terms with her own addiction to him?

Woodward's dark, funny and heartbreaking tale blends romance and comedy with brutal self-discovery and compelling readability. Ninety Days Without You is about relationships, addiction, mental health, family, friends, love, sex—and the essential journey towards knowing and loving yourself.

Professional 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!"
—Lucinda Gordon Lennox, MSc, MBACP

"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, Trom
