Jencey of Writer’s Corner reviewed L. Alison Heller’s The Love Wars and said that it will make her Best of 2013 list! See what else she had to say: “I cannot tell you how much I loved this novel! I loved the characters and the witty yet ironic approach that the writer took to the novel and the subject matter it dealt with.”
