Review: Dear Martin

Dear Martin by Nic Stone
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars. Overall a good story, but something was off in the writing to me. I didn't feel like the character development was quite there, and it just felt like it should have all been written in first person, rather than just the journal letters. It seems almost like it HAD originally all been written in first-person, and then re-edited so that all the I's and me's were simply replaced with "Justyce", rather than re-writing to be truly from a 3rd-person perspective, in an unnecessary effort to make more distinction between the story and Justyce's journal entries. I expected a little more from a Morris finalist.
