Dear Mom:
A very interesting concept. Kind of reminded me of Anne Frank, but it's not everyday you get to see something like this!
As someone who often write letters and keep diaries, I can totally relate to how the protagonist feels. It feels as if I'm reading my own diary! The words clearly described her inner struggles and conflict.
Very good indeed.
Life Fragments:
Every chapter has a different kind of character; be it their mental age, how they talk, or their motives, all of them left me speechless.
The words are very colourful and reflect each character's personalities. I could see Sam as a sweet, mellow gentleman, Austin as an awkward yet sweet jokester, and Emily as a brave and cheeky young girl. Every chapter is a breath of fresh air, an I liked that.
Damn it, what kind of sorcery did you use?!
Also, side note: There's a typo at the third line of the third chapter. It should be 'begin', not 'begging'. Hope you don't mind me pointing that out.
