The reason I'm hoping to get some critique early on is because there is an issue which could be fundamental to the entire work. I am a 62 year old man attempting to write in the voice (first person) of a 14 year old girl. I need some basic feedback on whether the character, her associates, and her voice are realistic, believable and sympathetic before I invest a huge amount of effort in getting it wrong.
Need critique on a basic point
