Will give it 5 stars but...it needs a lot of work, it doesn't give me the feeling that I'm reading a novel. I'm still in the process of reading it and the chapters are very short but there is something about this writing that I can't put my finger on that just makes it seem...incomplete. Maybe someone with better critiquing abilities will be able to spot it but this novel just doesn't feel like a novel, it's somewhere between that and a journal. I plan on continuing to read it for now but these are my thoughts. I recommend readers check it out for themselves.Good luck, author, I don't like leaving bad reviews since I think everyone should give a novel a try before they bash it and especially for new novels, leaving a poor review (star wise), can be detrimental
