Great start

The story had potential, but the second half felt rushed. While the narrative bobbed back and forth between the main characters, which was fine, the perspective character wasn't always identified at the beginning of the section.

The timing became confusing. what seemed to be important events were barely mentioned. Things that didn't move the story forward were large sections.

The dialogue needed more identifiers throughout, especially with more that 2 characters talking. Also, the resolution to different problems was really short and confusing.
