Hi everyone!
I am looking for a beta reader for my 42,000 YA novel. It is a character driven contemporary story and I am mostly looking for some general feedback. Here is a draft of a query I have been working on:
Natalie Miller suffers from crippling anxiety and depression. When she is thrust into a new life after her father is moved to an army base in Texas, she spends the summer in self- imposed isolation. But once school begins, Natalie struggles to maintain her sanity in the halls of the highly social, cliquish world of high school. She is losing that fight until Tracy, whose father was also moved to the Texas base, invites her to a teen party. There, Natalie finally finds the answer to feeling like a normal teenage girl in drugs and alcohol. But there is a price and as the layers of Natalie’s life begin to fall away, Natalie is faced with a decision. Will she stay forever in between life and death or will she make a choice?
Thanks!
