I think this novella had potential, and just missed the mark - and I think it has to do with the length.
In my opinion, neither Cal nor Tim immediately come across as likeable characters. It seems like each had a bigger backstory in mind, but with the length you never really get to hear much. It feels as if the characters abruptly jump to “unlikeable” to “likeable” in the span of a chapter, and it feels unnatural because you really don’t know much about them yet.
I really liked the concept of the story, but I think it would’ve been better suited with a full length novel.
