Full request kept for 158 days, then rejected.
Received feedback that could be perceived as helpful, however she named the incorrect character as the main character and misspelled their name, so I'm uncertain how much she read. This makes it difficult to determine what I need to change based on her feedback.
Otherwise, she seems to be a kind person. Good luck to everyone!

“I wish there was a clearer presentation of the premise to understand what the MC is facing as well as more emotional interiority and tighter pacing in the first pages.”
