Review by Belles
Rated: 13+ | (2.0)
This is a wrenching of emotion that after the first paragraph wears on the reader. It's a death bed scene, but the story may be hidden before this last moment. You have power in the scene but you ring it out, you need emotion with a dose of normal to give the reader time to catch their breath and understand what the character is going through. You tie it to a song which is nice and doesn't hurt the story. Although I don't understand the language, is it street slang, i don't have enough information to know why these characters talk this way, i don't know where they are from or have any background, you may want to use some flash back to "normal" times, to give the scene balance.

Review of Salt

This is powerful, and I think you get that power from using first person. I think there is good contrast between the parents personalities and the daughters. She does a lot of thinking, so you might want to be careful to have some action in real life, like lifting a pen or stabbing a notebook, to connect with the real world, you do have the connection with the phone and her thoughts that is why i scored the story as high as i did. belles
