F2S 60
I got dressed for my first date in 16 years at the same time my ex-husband was across town passing a kidney stone. Divine justice.

Sounds like chick lit, another genre that's not my forte, but I think the hook is interesting and I would at least read more.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Funny.
ReplyDeleteHow fun - I like it. I'd keep reading.
ReplyDeleteOMG that's FUNNY!
ReplyDeleteI would so read on.
:) Terri
I laughed out loud. I want more!
ReplyDeleteI would read on. I like the voice and am interested in both characters already.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!!!
ReplyDeleteI would read on.
Not my thing, but I like this. Nice hook. :]
ReplyDeleteLove! It feels fresh. I like chick-lit in small doses of non-clichéd text, but this one gives me a good feeling.
ReplyDeleteFun and hooking.
ReplyDeleteThe first sentence is a little too long. I'd prefer a few words cut, like:
"My first date in 16 years and my ex was busy passing a kidney stone."
Not my genre. Sounds fine though.
ReplyDeleteAwww, snap. I like it and want to keep reading, even though it's not my genre.
ReplyDeleteThis IS my genre and I like this. I might take out the 'across town' part though... who cares where the rotten scoundrel is now? :)
ReplyDeleteChick Lit is not my choice, ever--but what a great voice.
ReplyDeleteVery fun and engaging. (and such divine justice indeed LOL)
ReplyDeleteHa! Not my genre, so I wouldn't read on. But that is a great opener.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'd have to read on. The POV character already has my attention. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'd keep reading.
ReplyDeleteoh very funny! I'd read on just to see this characters take on things.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I'm hooked. It feels like there's two POVs going on here, or at least an omniscient POV, but neither serve to really draw me in.
ReplyDeleteLovely humour. Would definitely read more.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! I love it. The wry humor is great. I would keep reading. As long as the narrator doesn’t turn completely vindictive and bitchy, I’d be fine. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI like this. It's funny.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! My favorite entry.
ReplyDeleteI don't read chick lit, but this seems on target for that genre. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds familiar.
ReplyDeleteHa! Love the voice, very funny. I agree that you could do without the ex's whereabouts.
ReplyDeleteLOL -- I'd read on.
