Great opening line 

The name Haley seemed kind of out of place 

The story is interesting but I felt removed from it. I didn’t really connect with anyone in it so when emotional events would happen, I didn’t really feel anything. 

It is well written 

I was making my way through it at a good clip but when it moved from the Mentor/Mentee relationship into the plot line with Leah, it slowed way down for me. That may be because I didn’t really like Leah, but who knows. I just found my interest waning. 

I hate that Haley keeps choosing Leah over everything else. Leah has never done anything to deserve that loyalty from Haley. I understand that Haley is a lonely young girl clinging to this connection but a what point will she learn to let go? 

The end is a lot and very depressing. It felt like the character learned nothing from her mistakes.
