Firegirl had so much potential; but, in all respect, it did not match up to my expectations. There were lots of errors - in the plot, writing, and characters - that I barely finished it.
My main problem with Firegirl was the writing. It seemed to tell, not show. This, as a reader, made the story dragggg on. There are many ways Tony Abbott could have avoided this, but he didn't. For example, Tom has a crush on Courtney. Author Tony Abbott keeps telling readers about how prefect Cortney is. There could have been millions of different ways to show readers that Tom has a crush on Courtney. Couldn't Tony Abbott simply just put a scene in where Tony talks to Courtney, but he stutters? Couldn't that get the message across just as efficiently, without "telling?"
My second concern with Firegirl were the characters. They were so underdeveloped and one-dimensional. Not only were the characters underdeveloped, but so were the character's relationships. Even the relationship between Tom and his best friend Jeff seemed to be a "backstory" of sorts, maybe even a "page-filler." The same applies between Tom's relationships with everyone, but specifically with Courtney and with Jessica.
The plot was integrating, but unfortunately, as much as I wanted to like Firegirl, it seemed there were just simply too many errors for me to enjoy it thoroughly.
All in all, I found multiple errors in Firegirl that prevented me from truly enjoying it. If these errors were fixed, I am sure I would love Firegirl!
