This is an interesting story (well, the two chapters I've read so far) and the layout is gorgeous. It's been a while since I've read a story that switches POV every chapter so that was interesting to read. I like that you made Mia and the guys be friends when they were younger, and then drift apart once the boys got big, and I'm assuming a bit farther into the story they're gonna meet up again. I also like that the characters are actually adults, and you aren't keeping them stuck in high school or anything, I love reading about "grown up" characters.
I found it a little confusing having bits of of the present mixed in with the past, like in the second chapter where Alex was thinking about grad and then kind of went back and thought about not being able to graduate without Mia. I think it would be a little bit more effective if you went through the whole flashback and then went back to what he thought. If that makes sense. Also, with the interactions between the characters, be careful not to make everything too stiff. It seemed like every time Mia giggled, so did the other characters, and things like that. The dialogue and their interactions just seemed a little bit stiff and predictable sometimes.
Anyways, I hope that didn't come off as harsh, I really do like this story! I'm definitely gonna read the rest of it because I want to know if Mia and Alex end up getting together or what's gonna happen. Nice job
You're not coming off as harsh at all! The feedback is greatly appreciated and I'll definitely trying working on making everything less stiff! Thank you!
