I'm hooked! Great first line and badass last line. I want to know more!! Why is she (she's a she, right?) in a hospital bed? What was her idyllic life like? Who is Mr. Deserving of a Death Wish? I'm so glad this showed up in my email box this morning as I'm having severe withdrawal symptoms post ending of Ted Lasso. Thanks, ladies, for this nibble of what will assuredly be a fun read!
I absolutely love that these first few paragraphs present so many questions to the reader. I can't wait to read the next installment. I'll have more to say later. Congrats Mary, E. Jean and Jen on this amazing venture!!!
Thanks to Mary Trump’s interview on the Katie Phang show on MSNBC, Mary not only introduced me to this serial, but to Substack as well. Enjoyed the first mini chapter in this e novel.
Love me a good love story. Love Tuscany. Love being able to look forward to a taste of both every Tuesday and Friday! I'm down for the year ... and beyond! Onward! 💜
I’m only seeing a few paragraphs. New to this platform - is that correct? I thought it was a whole chapter that was available. Cannot wait to read this!
Thank you for validating all the women who have wanted a man in their life dead! I sorta knew I wasn't the only one, but it's nice to see the sentiment in print, written by three kick-a$$ women writers! I'm looking forward to how this story winds and unwinds. :D
OUI! Count me in! All hail les Reines, E. Jean and Mary! (Jen you sound great, too.)
MERCI for making the internet a bit weird again, but in a good way...
cheers from Paris...

Do I smell an "enemies to lovers" arc?
Congrats on the launch!
Wow — Talk about a great opening! I’m already rooting for the protagonist against whoever this interloper is, and eager to learn more!
I already love it! Glad I couldn't resist.

That is one impressive beginning, short as it is. The mystery, the snark — all that’s needed to hook me.
I’m in!! I mean... Italy, sassy women, men who (probably) deserve a quick demise, and likely a lot of great food and wine on the horizon. Can’t wait.

Great opening. Don't worry about the grammar. I only found one comma missing. But, the movement was awesome.
Haven't we all been there! Great opening line. Definitely looking forward to this!
Thank you, E. Jean! That means a lot. I really admire your bravery and courage.
Hurry!
