I'm so behind in the activity here! I apologize! ) :

I think the impulsive approach really does stay true to his character - even if that means he'll end up saying some of the strangest things - so I'm really glad you're going that route with him. He's looking back and reflecting on past events, but it's still being told through Tom's thoughts and that impulsiveness is a big part of that.

He's no author, by any means, but in being able to capture that so fluently and keep it convincing, it certainly says something about you as an author. It works incredibly well!

I really look forward to when it starts to get deeper. Call me morbid, but really heavy themes in writing are something I thrive on, so this is going to be a real treat. What really impresses me is that, despite the dark themes, it fits perfectly into a high school setting because these things do happen. It's unpleasant to think about, but it's totally within the realm of probability.

Really excited to see how it plays out once it really takes off! ( :
