Suggested If: you want a story with lots of diversity

My Review: I really, really like the diversity in the plot and all the struggles that each individual character has to face. However, I feel like the plot as a whole is a little bit hard to follow with all the switching POVs. I like your chapter lengths and your grammar and spelling is overall pretty decent, but there are a few mistakes sprinkled in here and there (it's 'barely,' not 'barley') and I think your sentence fluency is a little choppy at times. Overall, though, this story is definitely pretty different from most of the stuff I review on this site and I think it definitely has potential!

Rating (0-5): 3

Other Notes: Just an FYI, if the title is referring to just one boy it should be "The Boy's Dream." If it's referring to more than one boy, it should be "The Boys' Dream."
