I well written chapter. I don't know how much college experience E.J. has, or how many credits. I am a bit surprised he isn't going to junior college first to ease back into things. Maybe he has too many credits.

He only had the one year in college and flunked a few courses so he doesn't have that many credits. He probably should have considered JC first, but this chapter leads to an opportunity he can't refuse.

Dear Abby, instinctively knows about "distracting" male opponents, and so does E.J., and fortunately for meets up with a very influential professor Gregorian who has great influence in those areas, as Abby well knows. They are Bridge partners now making friends, I know bridge was an indirect influencer in changing the course of my life, beautifully written my friend, blessing Roy

Thank you, Roy. That's interesting how bridge had an influence on your life too.

I am happy the E.J.'s life is coming together. I am worried about him blowing it. I sure hope that doesn't happen. I didn't find any problems with this post. It's very good.

Thank you, Barbara. E.J. is now on the verge of a secure future if he can keep the drinking at bay. Abby was prescient back in chapter 25 when she said that golf and maybe even bridge might provide a steppingstone to his future.

I sure hope she's right.

An interesting story. The flow is good. The images are clear. The narrative stays on point. the dialogue is believable. This portion ends at a good place to call for further reading.

Suggestion:

"E.J. is the one who helped me get over my fears and to be myself around Kenny, and our love has blossomed in just a few short months."
This sentence seems somewhat confusing. My final takeaway after re-reading it is that she is falling in love with E.J.

Thanks for sharing. A good read.

Yeah, I'd better clarify that. Kenny is her love. Thanks for pointing that out and for the good review.

An unexpected twist enters the story. I did not see that coming. Nittany Lions, Whiteout, Linebacker U. I was birthed near Philly, Manayunk, raised within 40 miles thereafter. Be well.

Yes, some might call it luck.

Thanks for the good review, Tom.
