Answers:
The story doesn't make me want to read it- Justin sounds selfish and stupid. The ending isn't interesting, and there aren't any dynamics to it. I don't like the drug taking- his personality seems to change throughout the story. Potentially, could be good, but you need to simplify the story and
-keep it down to about three main characters
-have a beginning, middle and end
-a twist in the story
-don't make it predictable!
This should help you, sorry if I seemed harsh.
1. No
2. No
3. The psychic (seriously nobody needs a psychic in modern novels), the lukewarm romance and the speech.
Here's some harsh criticism that's gonna help in the long run – I got bored before I reached halfway. Here's a tip: focus less on his school life and more on his criminal activities. For instance, what criminal contacts besides Wyatt does he have? What drugs does he deal, and to whom?
Sorry not but it doesn't sound very interesting.
