Sorry for being difficult, but I fail to see how the hook is unusual or intriguing. If it's the connection to DeuxMoi, that requires the reader to know who DeuxMoi is, and I don't. Urve (talk) 09:50, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93: If the issue is primarily that most people won't know who DeuxMoi is, how is this as an alternative? It provides some basic background + sheds some light on the novel's origin.
