First Chapter
First Impression:
Condoms!
Breakdown:
Where the hell are all the mistakes?
Interesting characters. Real dialogue. Perfect amount of description.
Fuck you.
Spelling and punctuation:
Fuck you again. There isn't anything to complain about.
Likability:
Definitely nothing to dislike. No overkill of dialogue tags. No repetitive words. I'm not a fan of not finding anything wrong. It disappoints me that there's nothing wrong.
