International Praise for The Night Before the Morning After

“Scott Newman’s memoir reads like the late great Bukowski’s novels, telling tales of his social, cultural experiences but this time from the iPhone generation’s perspective. An extraordinary read that makes it hard to put the book down. His descriptive language is poetic at times, not overdone or flowery rather painting a visual world which the reader but for a short time can find themselves a part of. Humorous and hedonistic, dark and cynical, overall stories that find a deep edge driving home truth and sobering thoughts. More extensive than simple frivolity, he uses his words like a weapon that pierces through those sappy coming-of-age stories.”
-Alexandra van Overdijk, The Netherlands

“The Night Before the Morning After is a book that gets you excited about living life and enjoying youth along with all of the opportunities that come along with it. It succeeds in steeling your attention despite competing with Netflix, social media, and other instant gratifying platforms we so deeply love. It tells a story that resembles a Gatsby lifestyle fantasized by many, but in a way that you can visualize yourself having those experiences with nothing more than the right motivation and the right mentality. It simply gets you excited about living life and encourages you to seek out all life has to offer. A simple fantasy that so many of us chose to let go is instantly resurrected within reading the first chapter. Gossip Girl, 90210, and other elitist based dramas could never achieve what this book effortlessly conveys.“
-Jose Yanez, United States

“Scott leaves an impression on you. Every turn of the page, I found myself relating to more of his experiences or longing to undergo his stories first hand. His approach to life is a unique and intriguing one filled with an array of cultural influences that leaves you wondering about your own perspectives on the world. This is a very entertaining read from start to finish on the life of a young person making their way through this crazy world. It will leave you more than eager to find out what happens next in his journey.”

-JK Kazzi, Australia

“Scott’s writing is reminiscent to the great writers of decades past: Fitzgerald, Hemingway. The lustful moments and sometimes unrequited love in each chapter transcends time and makes the reader feel like a silent observer watching each moment of the story unfold from across the room. One of the greatest new writers of this generation. You will not want to put this book down. Mark my words, this kid has been and will continue to go places.”

-Stacey Anderson, United States

“Scott’s writing is from a perspective well beyond his years. It's easy to find yourself lost in the pages as he tells his stories of romance with a tinge of innocence and genuine curiosity. These years are so precious and fly by far too fast. I found myself reminiscing on the wild days of my youth. Scott's words encourage his reader, young and old alike, to chase life experiences and adventure more.”
-Stacie Shaw, Canada

“As a child I wondered if children in the USA were read the Great Gatsby at nighttime before bed, and while I know now this is not true, I can tell you that these tarnished aspirations towards greatness articulate through the thumbs which like Kim Kardashian’s latest booty pic as much as they do through the tendency of many to dull themselves into normalcy. Scott’s writing draws on the aspirational aesthetic sensibilities of Gatsby or Hindsmith or Bertolucci’s The Dreamers with a wry intimacy found only in those who have experienced being a bright young thing. The new high society is still emerging from the chiaroscuro of the past, and I trust Scott to thrust it into the flickering neon of the future."
-Ellina Aria, United Kingdom

“Hilarious, thought-provoking, but most importantly, the kind of genre-defying narrative we need to keep our heads afloat. Without a doubt, Scott Newman’s The Night Before The Morning After will make you laugh, cry, and well, make you question the meaning of everything.” - Donovan Russo, Author of Steven’s War, United States
