I just read the book with the classmates. One thing I will say before I praise the heck out of you, sometimes it was hard to tell who was talking. Sometimes it was intentional, I know, but there were a few scenes where you neglected to mention who was speaking, only for them to be referred to later. Criticisms out if the way…
The story was phenomenal, you did your research (don’t get caught by the FBI)
I liked that you made the MC not docile, like she fought back at every chance she got. You surprised me with Josephine. I thought she was gonna be a motherly figure. I enjoyed all the endings, and how you kept them true to their character. I also really REALLY liked how you gave us an ending where she actually escaped. The climax was amazing.
Definitely going to be reading your other works.
Keep it up!
