My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, a novel.
In three parts, interludes and an epilogue. I moved the material that I had called the prologue in the last version into the body of the book on the grounds of length. When was the last time you read a book with a 20-page prologue?
I think it's a novel. I think it's done.
Now what do I do?
(I mean, besides send a copy to my first-reader extraordinaire, the friendly, thoughtful and bright fellow known as a vision of manlyness and a man of vision not at all subsceptible to flattery, Corey Klemow.)

Get an agent. Put out a call for beta readers. bbovenguy is right abotu the Writer's Market. That would have been my suggestion, too.
Good luck.
