They say that dialog is the hardest part of writing fiction. But this novel impressively tells at least two-thirds of the tale through clever conversation. The talk seems calm, cool, and collected, while flashing bits of unexpected humor and zaniness and leading the reader on to a good understanding of the thoroughly likable characters. You'll want to join them for a glass of wine and a chat. (by Mrs. ABC)

Nowhere Yet- This first in a series of three novels, finds three college friends coming together for a weekend to renew old memories....the folks they meeet along the way add color and multi-personalities to the mix. The steady dialogue,often obscene,establishes the contemporary-ness of the characters while cleverly portraying their individual roles. I laughed out loud when the three snobs got drunk and let their hair down. Mixed emotions, led by Rex's over-the-top obsession with himself was tempered with the Grant/Annie unsure approach to their past and/or future together. Thankfully it ended on an upbeat note but left it open for a "what's next" question. I can hardly wait.

This is a beautiful and easy read. A wonderful story about love and friendship and the living thread the keeps us connected as life takes us on journeys and we drift our different ways.

Edward Cozza‘s novel is delightful read, a contemporary fiction with touches of magical realism. You can’t help but love his characters dialog from the banter between Grant and his friend, New Yorker, Rex to Kat’s quick witty responses to Rex’s bravado. Even Palm Springs is a character with the hot climate and landscape which enhances the predicament of the situation. Grant’s interior monologue is rich with questioning his self-confidence to follow his heart. Mr. Cozza’s writing style envelopes riches of each character female and male to find an endearing quality with all of them that makes you want to know the next journey of the trilogy as the characters move to San Diego. As readers we also gain a taste of human spirit that reminds us that life is a magnificent journey.

An absorbing and thought-provoking read. The author develops the characters and makes even the less-sympathetic ones interesting. I found myself looking forward each day to my evening reading of this book. I hope that the next book in the trilogy comes soon. The characters have grown and reached new phases in their lives; I'm interested in what comes next.

A well-executed piece told with humor and heart--Cozza is one of the greatest writers of our time. Nowhere Yet by Edward Cozza is an unconventional piece of fiction. The books opens with a conversation between Rex and his estranged friend, Grant. Of course, Grant is skeptical because he knows from experience that Rex can be an emotional pain. After a weekend of rekindling old loves and friendships in Palm Springs--the reader is left feeling satisfied with great-use of humor and new awakenings within the fictional world. An uplifting reading experience.
