@RhymingWizard6 First off, sometimes there are sudden shifts b/w Karl's and Serena's povs...it just kinda affects with the reading ig? You can make their separate povs with more descriptions with each of their sides
Secondly, starting few chapters seem a bit fast paced even though it seems to be a slow burn and many details seemed missing or vague..
For example, the story starts with Serena's new day at school but we didn't get to know how it went or how she navigated her starting few days of school life and making friends. We never got to know them later in the story too even though they're mentioned at the start
