This was really good. If I was nitpicking, I’d rate it lower because the dialogue between the teens was so cringy. No 15 and 16 year olds say “15 and a half” or “16 and a half”. It took me out of the story and all I could think was Hickman is out of touch. But in the end, it was really good. I don’t like the big think near the end, but I understand how it adds tension.
