 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.)

moment I spent with Molly Grant and her friends, family and
colleagues. *--Liane
Moriarty, Author of *What Alice Forgot*

and empathy. Briskly paced and thoroughly entertaining*.--Meg Donohue,

quick witted. Delightful from beginning to end*! --Chicklitisnotdead.com
