Blogger Girl (33 page)

My fellow Chick Lit Goddesses – Only fellow authors can truly understand the highs and lows, pleasure and pain, and rewards and frustrations associated with being an author these days and I am so lucky to have found you all. Thank you for consistently reminding me why I love being a writer and for making me laugh until my tummy hurts on a daily basis with your witty posts.  Special shout-outs to Samantha Stroh Bailey and Francine LaSala.  I love you guys so much. Thank you for being so talented, so funny, so supportive and so uniquely “you.”  You inspire me to be a better author and a better person – I cannot wait to plan Book Buzz 2014 with you. 

My friends – I have the best friends in the world.  I really do. Without my wonderful friends, I’d probably lock myself in my apartment and spend all day writing, blogging, tweeting or posting updates on Facebook.  Thank you for encouraging me to go out, eat, drink and be “Meri.”  Honorable mentions to Ronni Solon, Jenny Kabalen, Abbe Kalnick, Shanna Eisenberg, Megan Coombes, Deirdre Noonan, Anne Lekow, Jason Shaw, Hilda Black, Jennifer Jacobs, Julie Marie Shinkle and Shannon Labetti. 

My Family – Thank you for your unconditional love and support and for purchasing multiple copies of all of my books.  Special thanks to my mom, Susan, for being my biggest muse and for repeatedly expressing how proud she is of me.  The feeling is mutual.  Also, eternal gratitude to my sister, Marjorie, for being my first beta reader and my best friend in the entire world. 

Book Bloggers – Wow. I cannot say enough about you guys. There would not be a
Blogger Girl
without you!  Thank you for doing what you do and for doing it so well and with such grace.  Special shout-outs to Samantha Robey, Melissa Amster, Laura Chapman, Michelle Bell, Stephanie Territo, Ashley Williams, Isabella Anderson, Julie Valerie and Kaley Stewart for inspiring me regularly, but I love you all!

Dedication – I’d like to dedicate
Blogger Girl
to Alan Blum.  Your friendship means the world to me. Without your encouragement, support, extensive comic relief and mini therapy sessions, I could not write one, much less three, novels.  Your faith in me gives me faith in myself.  The world threw you an unexpected and unwanted twist this summer but I hope by the time you read this dedication, you have emerged victorious.  The world is a better place because you are in it.  I love you and cannot wait until you’re back at work where you belong.  

“Meredith Schorr is such a witty author that brings heart and humor to every story she tells.  Her characters are always a delight to get to know and this book was no exception.  There are well developed supporting characters that don't overpower the main story of Kim and her journey.  I love the strong friendships that Meredith writes about in her novels and a love interest that will make you smile. I just flipped back through "
Blogger Girl
" again to see if there was anything that I would say I wish was different and absolutely nothing.  This was a solid book from start to finish, highly entertaining and difficult to put down.  Even the books that are reviewed within the book were compelling.  And you will never think about The Beatles "Penny Lane" the same again.”

“Meredith Schorr’s delightfully flawed heroines have never failed to charm me, and
Blogger Girl’s
Kimberly Long joins Jane (
A State of Jane
) and Stephanie (
Just Friends with Benefits
) in a special place in my heart. I really connected with her, especially, I hate to admit, over the frustration of seeing her high school nemesis thrive while she floundered. A great character. So very human and full and dimension. A satisfying and enjoyable read!”
