If you happen upon this before February 10 and really want to read this, message me and I can squeeze you in, but otherwise it's full. Thank you guys!
I’ll be emailing the manuscript sometime in late February and the deadline to get your critiques back to me will be just under a month after that. (When I know the date for sure, I’ll update this and contact those who have agreed to do it.)
Since it’s in the early stages of revision, I mostly need you to focus on big-picture things like characterization, plot, flow, dialogue, inconsistencies, etc. Not grammar yet at this stage! Thank you so much!
Jenna is supposed to be the Girl Going Places. So when she finds out she’s failing gym, it’s basically the end of the world. She’s never gotten so much as a C in a class, and how is she going to get into her dream college if she’s failing gym of all classes? To make matters worse, she and her best-friend-who-she’s-kind-of-in-love-with’s friendship is starting to show cracks. But then comes someone she never expected to grow close to, and he reminds her of the thing she misses most – Alaska’s pink skies.
Caught between her structured life and the chance at a new one, Jenna spends one critical semester trying to make everything go back to how it was. With fear of failure following her every move, Jenna must fight for the life and love she deserves.
As her world begins to unravel around her, Jenna discovers that when you finally decide to follow your heart, the right person will follow it with you.
