DNF EDITING
Good idea, execution needs work. I could not finish due to distracting lack of editing. There needs to either be breaks when POV change, or the Author needs to add details that notifyythe reader of the change. When a character speaks, the reader needs to know who is speaking, and quotation marks need to be at the beginning, at each break, and at the end of their spoken words.
Outside of that, heroine needs a bit or emotional consistency, unless she has ADHD in addition to her genetic inheritance.
Please get some beta readers or help with editing and republish.
