Okay, something just happened: the singular friend our MC has just told the MC her huge plan she has been working on to go help a famous scientist, and the MC immediately asked her to hand over her money and everything so she could do it all instead because "you don't need this like I do."

105 pages in and I'm still waiting for something to happen besides "sad orphan child is mistreated by everyone".

Now that I am an elementary teacher, it cracks me up when authors are like "She had been taught all the letter sounds in the alphabet as a child so now she figured out how to read!!" But like. Blends are a thing. Silent letters are a thing. This child does not know how to read, at least nowhere near the level you're pretending she can 😭
