snappy dialogue, Marv.
humor, too.
An intriguing RomCom, though I haven't as yet read all the other chapters.
What will chapter 44 bring?
Baited breath.

True Marv style with rat-a-tat dialogue throughout this chapter.
Each line contains banter back and forth about setting an appointment which is set for the following Monday. I would like to see less banter and more progression of the story. Marilyn

    You have this knack for complimenting and scolding, all in the same breath.
    I need them both. Thanks.
    I hope to be able to please you and myself very soon.

    Hi Marv. Maybe I'm not the best evaluator. The first stories I read really cracked me up--that's all I can say.

Your dialogue is much more understandable, Marv. It's always been powerful when I could understand who the speaker was. You've eliminated that problem, which leaves nothing but sparkle.

"What's to understand? I write it, I submit it. Maisel rejects it. Who's next?" [Do you mean "what's next?"? Just asking. "Who's next" just doesn't seem to fit.]

Great work, Marv.

    Thanks for reviewing, Jay. Your words are gratifying.
    Sparkle. I like that word.
    I agree with your suggestion, "what's next?" It's so obvious now.
    Thank you for the compliments and the 5 stars.

This is great, Marvin, with lots of laughs and great dialogue throughout.


"Her name is Beatrice Bevilaciqua. Her num . . ."

"Whoa, that's a mouthful. How about if I type the whole alphabet and you tell me which letters to white out?" -> lots of great lines throughout, but this is my favorite.

My only suggestion for change, and it's minor...
soon became obvious we weren't done talking,-> finished talking vs. done

    Thank you for this review, Mary.
    I've made the change regarding your suggestion.
    I imagine you feel the same with your humor. It sounds funny or humorous when I first conceive it but after the fortieth reading, I'm no longer sure. Thanks for giving me much needed approval.
    I appreciate all the compliments.
