Peace Lily
I really thought this was a great introduction to the character! You can tell she really loves her plants if she's reciting them by heart. Not only that, but I feel sorry for her having to deal with her older brother being like a parent to her and trying to force her to do things she doesn't want to. Once again, I think this story is super realistic already and I like what you've got so far!
African Violets
God, like I said, I love how real this is. You're capturing depression so well as someone that knows they still have work to do and once they get it done, it's right back into bed. I relate so hard tbh.
Weeping Figs
I feel so bad for Kat with her brother not understanding what it's like to live with depression. It's so upsetting to me and I truly hope he starts to be more understanding as the story progresses.
Aloe Vera
I'm really loving the conversation she had with her therapist and her snapping and everything. I think it shows just how done she is, and it seems like she's not really willing to help herself at this point. I hope that changes.
Fishtail Palm
Wow. I'm not very fond of her therapist just because most take their time with patients telling them things. At least, that's how my experience has been, I'm not sure how it is with others.
Chinese Evergreen
Part of me is wondering what happened in those unrecorded months to trigger everything, but I feel for Kat so much that I'm not sure I want to know what happened. It was really sweet of Xander to say he was proud of her, though. You can really tell it caught her off-guard.
Heart Leaf
I'm really wondering if James was the reason for her dark days. It would make sense since she said he haunted her nightmares tbh, but then again, I'm not sure.
Rachel seemed nice and it's a shame Kat not only treated her the way she did, but also spit the pills out.
Snake Plant
Part of me wishes Xander would've been a little more harsh on her in this case and called out her lies, but the other part of me is kinda glad he didn't because it might've worsened Kat's already fragile state.
I'm really, really enjoying this and I'm definitely going to keep reading! You're doing so well at this and I'm so in love. Great job!
Thank you for this super sweet comment! I'm really glad you're enjoying the read <3
