Unexpecting by Lori Verni-Fogarsi a review and giveaway!

I’m excited to introduce a hot new release by Lori Verni-Fogarsi! The novel, “Unexpecting,” is about a couple of almost-empty-nesters who, preparing to embark on their new, quieter lifestyle, receive the shock of their lives when a pregnant teenaged girl shows up on their doorstep and announces that she’s the daughter they never knew they had! Professionally edited and published by Brickstone Publishing, the book is available in paperback or Kindle. The author, Lori Verni-Fogarsi, is a two-time award winning novelist for “Momnesia” and the author of “Everything You Need to Know About House Training Puppies and Adult Dogs,” one of the most highly acclaimed books in its genre since 2005!

Just from the introduction, I knew I wanted to read “Unexpecting”. I was drawn into the story and lives of the characters from the first few pages. It was so hard to put it down – yes, I was definitely hooked! Throughout the story, I cried, laughed (and even became angry a few times) and experienced life with this family. Any woman who has been a mom or step-mom or sister will find a connection. There were many parts I could relate to – anyone who has ever dealt with a family member’s addiction could. Having nearly reached life without a diaper bag, I can certainly see a glimpse of a freer life ahead. (not that I don’t love every minute of life with my children, but I dream of our later years now)

“Unexpecting” is a wonderful read that I highly recommend. There is language that is not typical of other titles I recommend, just an FYI. Having read “Unexpecting”, I am anxious to read “Momnesia” as well. The family of “Unexpecting” is the same family from “Momnesia”, though I had no problems without prior knowledge of the first book.

There is a huge online celebration, including a blog tour, book giveaways, and the chance to win a $100 Amazon Gift Card. Go HERE!
