Christian white woman gives lukewarm writing advice. Credentials for advice? A comparison of AIDs and her petty jealousy with another writer. I.e dissonant and often short sighted.

Great atmosphere but unfortunately that cannot sustain a story. I found myself asking why plot points mattered aside from Gideon’s shallow love affair with Angela. Olivia was the most interesting character but the end of her plot boiled down to unrequited love. She’s a lesbian in my heart.
