about me

I like living in the large and tiny moments alike. Nostalgia and imagining the future with strangers, slowly peeling the protective covering off a new cell phone screen, hopping fences, that moment in class where you realize that you have no more room on your page for notes because it is covered in subconscious doodles. These are what embody life, and humanity, but probably more specifically, these are what embody me.

The Bridge and the River

Zoe Sedlak

What happens when a girl loses herself in one world and finds herself in another.


When the world tears the ground from under you, it's easy to lose yourself in your own abyss. This is what happens to the aimless and self-pitying Mary Martin one summer when she finds herself underneath her brother's bed, furious at life and the brother it took from her.

After fleeing the funeral, she stumbles upon the old bridge and river at the crossroads between her town and the next. But it becomes a bridge to somewhere much further than the next county, and the glassy image of herself in the water becomes much more than just a reflection.

I ran out of time, so I didn't finish chapter one, but what you have so far is pretty good. It's good you put that daunting little paragraph at the beginning to foreshadow the conflict to come, so that while the reader goes through the banality of getting home from a flight, we have that to look fo... view book

Wow, I am really liking the sounds of this story, just by the pitch. I'm probably gonna comment again pretty soon after I read the first chapter. view book

Still at the beginning, but so far it seems you've got the equation for a pretty good crime thriller revenge story. You've got the protagonist, stubborn, haunted with guilt and desire for vengeance against an elusive antagonist. You've got the mysterious unfinished last words of a dying man, and t... view book

So far I quite like this book. I've just read the first chapter, but it sets a very distinct tone, which is promising. The first little bit was a little hard to follow, though. The narration was a bit too jerky, I think. Maybe a few too many dashes. I think something that would make the introdu... view book

I like the way you end the chapter, very sly. The way you introduce Savannah's father is very effective, too. At first he seems to be this stark, distracted, formal man, and then you pull out the word "father", which shifts the reader around a little. It's good. One thing that I've learned per... view book
