Draft Review of Whispers in Willow Creek
The draft is well-written and engaging. However, there are a few areas where the narrative could be tightened for better flow. Consider defining the setting more vividly to create an atmosphere that complements the mysterious tone of the story. For instance, you could describe the town's architecture or specific landmarks mentioned in the diary entries. Additionally, while the plot is intriguing, adding a bit more detail about how Sarah feels as she uncovers these secrets might enhance her character development and reader engagement.
