What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Jodi Wing’s debut novel–The Art of Social War–is a satirical home run. A hilarious and dead-on exploration of the people who run Hollywood and those who try their best to love them. You won’t be able to put it down.” – Aaron Sorkin
“a brainy, satiric chick lit novel that forgoes a typical looking-for-love plot in favor of a happy-couple-against-the-world story….entertaining” – Publishers Weekly
“THE ART OF SOCIAL WAR is a smart, witty, yet cautionary tale… Jodi Wing’s newcomer-turned-insider narrative is a look at what happens when girl world intersects with the boys club in a town where winning is everything.” – Carol Wolper, author of THE CIGARETTE GIRL and MR. FAMOUS Carol Wolper, author of THE CIGARETTE GIRL and MR. FAMOUS
“Saucy and full of biting wit, Jodi Wing’s THE ART OF SOCIAL WAR is about as much fun as you can have reading words off a printed page. Like a BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES crossed with MEAN GIRLS, it’s hilarious and deadly and fun to the bitter end!” – Mimi Rogers
“The gloves are off in Jodi Wing’s hilariously witty account of Hollywood’s social battle ground. For anyone who has ever wondered what it really takes to make it here, THE ART OF SOCIAL WAR delivers a knockout punch!” – Thea Andrews, correspondent for Entertainment Tonight
“A sassy, out-spoken woman in Hollywood? What’s not to love? I couldn’t put this book down.” – Kim Delaney, actress
