Your new addition is indeed lovely... Can't wait to meet her in person.
:)
Well, I've read it.
And here are my thoughts:
What an interesting idea for a novel. 1 day, with the 8 women who know a single man.
He goes to the gym at 6? But still manages to eat breakfast with his family beforehand? It seems like a tight stretch of time.
When I first started reading Cassie's portion, I didn't think there was any way you could draw out a story from his morning coffee order. But you managed to do so quite nicely, perhaps making her one of my favorite characters.
His poor secretary's version of Daniel, reminded me of The Devil Wears Prada, which if you haven't read it, is about the boss from hell.
It's kind of funny how with each description, he just becomes more and more appalling. From Kate's point of view, he just seems like the normal adulterous husband. But by the time you read all of the girls' stories, you begin to truly loathe him.
And the ending! WOW! [Edited by Tree for possible spoilage, but very flattering!] But geez! What a good ending.
So overall, it was highly entertaining and worth the 2 hours of my life I spent reading it. Are you planning on editing it further or just leaving it as such, to occasionally look back and read?
Awesome! I so totally failed this year, but hey! I did write 12 000 words that hadn't been written before. :) Way to go, Lady!

I printed it to read over the weekend. I'll get back to you.
I've finally got around to reading Ladies' Man and and quite enjoyed it. I like the structure -- very effective -- and while I can see that an editting pass might be beneficial, it reads pretty damned well as it is!
And it was exactly the sort of thing I was wanting to read right about now: not overly taxing on the brain, but full of some good turns of phrase and a satisfying conclusion. :)
Congrats on getting through it in November, too!
TO wander about a room and be reminded about past memories, be taken away to another place. That is bliss.
