    About this ebook

    A modern #love? story written in 500 tweets.

    Settled in Italy, this Twitter-based love romance is the story of the (platonic?) love that a 35yo manager feels for his new and younger colleague, Viola.

    Everything -feelings, trips to Sardinia, overnight thoughts, moods and ordinary office life- has to be read throughout the timeline of a "secret" Twitter account, opened and managed by the author for about a year.

      I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the ‘Last Word’ column in the January/February 2021 issue. I was lying in my bath reading and found myself laughing out loud, imagining the scenes in my head. Maybe because I recognised so much of it in my own

      500 Days of Blossom - Frank R. Paradise

      Epilogue

      Enjoy!

      How to read this ebook

      All that you read has been written or twitted by myself some months ago.

      I am not English mothertongue. I didn’t write to make my tweets read or published.

      I just needed to express my feelings.

      So please apologize me for my unconventional English.

      I hope you can understand it anyway.

      First of all, you find a small bio of mine.

      It’s not too accurate, because I cannot reveal too much about me and my life.

      Then, a prologue.

      To understand how everything started, accidentally.

      Then, here you are… the 500 tweets.

      About me, my life and Viola (a female name, that in Italian means pansy).

      Read them.

      And stop sometimes (it took me months to write them all, so your are not forced to read all in a day!).

      Enjoy!

      F. R. P.

      About me

      Is it #love?

      I am 35, Italian, male, working for a Communication agency.

      Happily married, without kids (at the moment, but who knows) but with some cats living in my house.

      My wife is the only girl I ever REALLY loved and the one who shares with me interests, passions, ideals. No one else is like her!

      Moreover, she knows my weaknesses (better than I!). And doesn’t care about them!

      Isn’t it extraordinary?

      It is love!

      BUT.

      But some months ago Viola entered my life.

      I am her boss.

      In the prologue below you can read how everything started, months ago.

      Then something started to blossom inside me.

      A feeling.

      A constant thought.

      Is it love?
