Reviews

[Cheryl · Rating 2 out of 5]

I hate how you can't give half stars on Goodreads - I'm awarding this 2.5 stars.
A short story with a good premise that unfortunately didn't carry through on quality. It needed a couple more drafts to improve sentence structure & more than a few holes in the plot. It also needs a good proofreading due to typos.
Not the worst 30 mins I've spent by far, but not the best either
