She asked for my full MS on Feb 10, rejected it Mar 3. "I think the writing is strong, but I'm not sure I see a path for this book to stand out."
Which is an interesting point: to accept a book, an agent needs to feel they can pitch publishers on why the book is outstanding. Strong writing is not enough!
