Dear amazing Friends and Family,

The* May 7th* release of my debut novel *THE LOVE WARS* is days away. It’s
a dream come true for me, made even sweeter by your enthusiasm, generosity
and support, which I’ve been soaking up these past few months like a greedy
little sponge.

I’m imposing on you for just a little more help in these final days—small
things that could make a big impact on the novel’s success. If there’s
anything on this list that you feel compelled to do—or if you can’t help
yourself and feel you must do ALL of them—I would appreciate it.

joke.)

(Spreading the word informally really does make a difference.)

refreshingly true to life. I thoroughly enjoyed every hilarious, touching
moment I spent with Molly Grant and her friends, family and
colleagues. *--Liane
Moriarty, Author of *What Alice Forgot*

*Heller writes with the perfect balance of razor-sharp wit, intelligence
and empathy. Briskly paced and thoroughly entertaining*.--Meg Donohue,

*Don’t miss this . . . Heller’s narrative is a breath of fresh air–fun and
quick witted. Delightful from beginning to end*! --Chicklitisnotdead.com
