She also read TBLP. Having big names read, like, and support your novel is important in building buzz and establishing credibility. Here’s what Elinor Caplan had to say about TBLP:

“Terry Fallis weaves a funny yet tender tale that gives us all hope for the future of democracy. Hilarious and thought-provoking, I literally could not put this book down. I finished it in one sitting, with a full heart and sore sides. With an insider’s knowledge of politics, beautifully developed characters, and a page-turning plot, Terry Fallis has written a winner. Get it, read it, now!”

I’m grateful for the kind words. You just may see this quotation gracing the back cover of the sequel to TBLP (whenever it’s done).
