Would anyone read three chapters for me?

I just want to know if it’s engaging and if you’d want to read on. Nothing more complicated than that.

It’s commercial fiction/women’s fic/romance.

Relatively polished as I’m hoping to submit soon. Shortish chapters - about 6k total I think. Willing to repay the favour.

Mentions death of a young woman (male character is a widower).

I forgot to say please - please!

Have got to the point where I can’t judge my writing any more but I can’t bear the thought of real-life friends reading it and judging me.

I'd happily read it for you, sounds just like my kind of book. I'm not an expert though.

I'd love to

I'd love too. I love reading. I also.like to write but dont have anything close to being finished yet.

I'd love to read it too - do you want us to be brutally honest?

I would love to, just my kind of book!

Yes I will.

Ooh I'd love to as well. Sounds up my street. I often read pieces of work of friends, not novels but things like reports for work, applications, cover letters, presentations etc.

Happy to!

I'd love to read it for you.

Thank am sure that’s more than enough thank you! Will just finish throwing snacks at kids then can think about the next bit.

Not sure about brutal honesty. I mean feel free to say ‘it didn’t work for me at all’ but would rather avoid a sentence by sentence deconstruction if that makes sense. And less work for you. Even a ‘I only read to page 2 and got bored’ is fine :)

I have a two-month-old, @InescapableDeath - feedback will be carefully considered but limited

Looking forward to reading it!

Link sent - feel free to read or not!

Well I managed to read it this morning, my DS started playing up half way through and I had to distract him so I could carry on reading. Your characters are likeable and I enjoyed the twists, I would definitely have kept reading on if I had the book.

I hope that helps and good luck

I haven't got to read it yet but I definitely will!

I started but not finished I'll do tomorrow morning when home alone!

I'm planning on reading it tonight!

Thank you, very kind @morningcuppatea that's helpful :)

Everyone else, don't worry if you don't get to it, I'm asking you to give up your time for nothing so don't let it hang over your head! I've had a couple of bits of feedback now and feel lucky to have that :)

(but more always useful so not telling you not to do it!)
