I'm in the process of making final revisions to my novel and I would love to get some feedback. I'm more than willing to read and critique your novel in return (especially if it's literary/mainstream/YA. I won't be very helpful with genre fiction). Here is a quick summary:
Amy Corey had expected her junior year to be crazy, but not like this. The trouble starts after her mother’s break-up with her boyfriend who had been holding the family together (and secretly teaching Amy how to drive). Amy would rather keep up with the homework in all of her Advanced Placement classes, but instead she finds herself tending to the house, and ensuring that their electric isn’t turned off because her mother forgot to pay the bill. As she attempts to figure out if the cute boy in her Spanish class is interested in anything other than her answers to the homework, she also has to figure out why her younger sister is pulling out her hair. On top of everything else, Amy’s biological father-turned-penpal who she hasn’t seen in seven years announces he’ll be visiting for Christmas. How will he react when he sees that the picture-perfect life Amy created for him in her letters has all been a lie?
It's around 50,000 words. Please let me know if you're interested in a trade.
