Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9
I think everyone else will cover Gabriel's high-handed, entitled, elitist, kinda racist, jackassery (he's a bit like the guy in Visceral...maybe that is a personal preference, so what would there be for me to critique?) and I'll focus on Adele. You didn't really let us get to know her. Max thinks the world of her, Gabriel's come to really like her. Great. But all we know if her is 18 months ago she was pudgy and dumpy, now she's thin(er?) and well dressed. Oh, and she comes from a humble/ poor background. I got why she disliked him but why does anyone like her ( besides the fact that she is hot now)?
I like your writing style and this has the bones of a great story but 9 chapters in I would have liked to feel more than indifference (Adele) and annoyance/ distaste (Gabriel).
