Thank you so much for considering me for TITLE. While there isn't anything specific I didn't like about your opening pages, overall it doesn't feel like a good fit for my list at this time.
I'm sorry I don't have better news, but I wish you the best as you continue your querying journey.
Very nice rejection. Great agent to query. Good luck everyone!
