“Uncle Jon killed himself during Ansley’s last week of high school.”

Talk about an amazing first line! And reading this story made me want to keep reading it. I love how you move the reader forward. Excellent writing.

The ending is okay, but I am wondering if it is too easy. I don’t necessarily feel as if you cheated the reader by giving them a half-assed ending, but I would like to see it explored just a bit more. A few more drafts to play it out a bit?

Overall, I love the tone, the pacing.

Hey! You should be a writer!!!
