Round 14

There is also another reason why I don't think it is a good idea starting with the obvious revelation that Gabi was once and still is in love with Jayson. The reason is that it makes things predictable. When I began reading, I made a mental note to myself that we were going to run into Jayson sometime in this chapter. And sure enough we did. I've always felt that when romance in stories are predictable it takes a little away from the entertainment and mystery. And I really like surprises in stories. But maybe I'm the problem. Maybe, I probably don't understand teen fiction. Maybe I'm too quick to judge. But I think I'm changing and I have your story to thank for that. Because I was consciously aware that this story was a learning experience for me and not just in terms of the writing, but in terms of how to read certain genres.

And even if you don't take my advice, I'm inclined to think you did your job excellently well. For a couple reasons. The chapter had a purpose, a very clear one. You began by highlighting the most relevant history. A history that would take meaning at the end of the chapter. You also built an amazing main character and helped her roommate further bring out her uniqueness by giving both those characters nearly opposite attributes. But that's not all.

The truth is I fell in love with this story before I began reading it. LOVED the cover and the picture for the chapter. And then I realized the main character majors in Astrophysics. LOVED it!

Fantastic job and thanks for sharing. - Medscifi
