Ok feedback!“The table was covered in folders of mock exam papers and open legal books with foreboding titles like The Rule of Law or Is Eating People Wrong? stacked sloppily against each other.”
I like this, but it’s kind of an abrupt shift in tone. I’m not able to explain how exactly, but it seemed kind of odd.
“Jia’s brain felt like a puddle of mush and when she closed her eyes, it was like her mind created her own kaleidoscope but instead of pretty flowery patterns, lines upon lines of cases and acts reeled in her mind, remnant of her intense studying for the past two hours. She knew her concentration would only pull her through one hour maximum, but she had a test in two days and she still hadn’t gotten the last section down to a T. Law school was tough but her parents were breaking their backs at home, 2000 miles away, to afford her tuition. She was a first-generation college student and her sister was so proud of her for getting into law school and was always on the phone, expecting another report of her fantabulous results. Safe to say, there was a lot at stake.”
This is kind of telling vs showing. Maybe you could spread this out, or rewrite this section?
And now I’m going to annoy you, sorry 👀
“They broke apart, both smiling as they peered into each other's faces.”
“Jia pointed out, a smile playing on her lips despite herself.”
“His mouth parted mid-smile in expectation.”
I liked it otherwise! I did feel the fight happened a bit to fast, but it was really well written. :)
