Publisher Description

In quaint Haddonfield, New Jersey, Tess is about to marry Gabe in her childhood home. Her mother, Helen, is in a panic about the guests, who include warring exes, crying babies, jealous girlfriends, and too many psychiatrists. But the most difficult guest was never on the list at all: a woman in a wedding dress and a gas mask, armed with a rifle, a bomb trigger strapped to her arm.

Lisa Zeidner’s audacious novel Love Bomb begins as a hostage drama and blossoms into a far-reaching tale about the infinite varieties of passion and heartbreak.

Who has offended this nutcase, and how? Does she seek revenge against the twice-divorced philanderer? Or is her agenda political—against the army general? Or the polygamous Muslim from Mali? While the warm, wise Helen attempts to bond with the masked woman and control the hysteria, the hostages begin to untangle what connects them to one another, and to their captor. But not until the SWAT team arrives does “the terrorist of love” unveil her real motives....

Critics have praised Lisa Zeidner’s prose for its “unforced edginess and power”; her fiction “shines with humor, wisdom, and poignancy.” In her most masterful novel yet, Zeidner gives us a tough yet tender social comedy, a romance with guts, a serious frolic written out of deep affection for all that it skewers.

"This is my first review! I enjoyed this book. It is a good "yarn" from start to finish. I particularly liked the introduction and interplay of the characters. Plus, such a satisfying wrap-up at the end. Also, fun because it is local -- Haddonfield, NJ."

    " Sylvia steered me a little wrong on this one. I wasn't crazy about the format, the constant breaks in the albeit slow action to summarize everyone's beef with love. They were all a little too long and not all of them were people I actually wanted to hear from. The ending summaries were pretty satisfying, and I'll concede we have to get to know these people beforehand to have them make sense. I don't know, I feel like page one had a ton of potential and it never really got used. "

    " A great book - wise and funny. A literary romp from beginning to a most satisfying ending, I must have laughed out loud, sitting all by myself reading it, a half dozen times. Highly recommend. "

    " Bizarre story about a terrorist appearing at a wedding in suburban NJ. Interesting plot, but the story relied (in my opinion) way too much on psychiatry, and I just didn't like or care about the characters. I skipped about 70 pages to see how the story turned out, and even that was boring. "

    " Fun to read. If you can get by the premise of the twisted bride terrorist, it's interesting to meet the characters, and see what the author does with them. Perfectly silly, with plenty of commentary on bad behavior, mostly by men. "

    " This book could have been summed up in a paragraph. Wouldn't even need a two hour made for TV movie. Crazy lady crashes wedding, wants to see an old flame, cop, people are held against their will. Crazy lady captured!! "

    " Totally light weight but fun book about a group of psychiatrists and celebrities gathered to celebrate the wedding of 2 people who meet in Doctors Without Borders. The wedding is disrupted by someone n a wedding dress and gas mask and the book is an amusing tail of what ensues. Fun beach reading. "

    " As a plot-driven book, this is just fine. When it tries to say something, it gets a bit lost. After all, who reads a book with the opening line of "The bride did not wear white. But the terrorist did." for a message? "
