It's funny when strange things bring people together.

This is very cleverly written. I like you foreshadowing, and your irony. I enjoyed how you worked a plot into the plot. Very amusing. And just like the romance books themselves this was intentionally predictable. Having the character description in the beginning was helpful. The characters were true to your description. I could easily see this as a play. Well done and I am voting for this.

    Hi Liz O'Neill!

    Thank you so much for your kind comments and your feedback. I'm glad the character description in the beginning was helpful. I learned to do this feature from reading about writing plays. The list is called character personae. Thank you for taking the time to read my play and vote for it. I appreciate it so much.

This is a sweet romance play in which you've woven in bits of a novel with a pretty hilarious title: "The Good, the Bad and the Next Door Neighbor!" I liked the love of reading theme but wasn't quite sure what was abandoned.

    Hi Iyenochka!

    Thank you for your kind comments. The bookcase was abandoned by the previous owner. It was in the beginning of the play. Again, thank you for taking the time to read my play.

This is really lovely and I enjoyed reading it. I picked up a couple of points.

She nodded her ascent to Peter's request - 'ascent' should be 'assent'

MARA: (She smiles.) I'd love to you. And you just gave me an idea, neighbor. Delete 'to'

ANTHONY: Shall be skip the sorting and have lunch at Bright's Caf�?�©? 'be' should be 'we' and you might want to edit Caf�?�©. I've had this happen too. I don't know how you get accents to work on this site.

Hi Mystery Author,

Interesting read and a great contest entry. Good luck!

Just a couple of offetings for your consideration:

"master's degree in creating writing. "

Masters programs are "creative" writing.

and

"and she wanted it to envelope her forever. "

I believe you meant to say "envelop."

Thanks so much for shariing.

Jan
