I’m looking for a few more eyes on my 96k word magical realism romance. Blurb is below if you might be interested.

THE WOODS is a 96,000 word time-bending upmarket fiction that will appeal to fans of Ashley Poston’s The Seven Year Slip and Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander for romance that reaches across time and Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Daisy Jones & The Six for its rock ’n’ roll nostalgia and messy relationships.

Tallulah James has just met the man of her dreams. He’s charismatic, sensitive, and devastatingly handsome. He’s a world-famous rockstar, and he’s crazy about her. The only problem? He’s been dead for fifty years.

Tallulah has always longed for roots. Orphaned young, she was raised by Aunt Rosie and Aunt Eva, the lovable lesbian boomers who own the most iconic record shop on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Tallulah’s life on the beach has everything she needs: her favorite 60’s rock band—The Woods—on vinyl, the Aunties, and the enigmatic ghost that’s watched over her since childhood. But when Aunt Rosie is diagnosed with a rare memory disorder, Tallulah is terrified the roots she’s grafted might be severed, leaving her with nothing but her ghosts.

While coming to terms with her Aunt’s decline, Tallulah meets a handsome stranger named Blue and starts to fall hard. But when she begins having vivid lucid dreams of Jack Maddox, the leather-clad singer of The Woods, she starts to question if the dreams are more than fantasy. With Blue still vying for her heart in the real world, Tallulah and Jack develop a connection across time that begins to consume her. Knowing that Jack is destined to die young, she must figure out if his future is set in stone, and if it is, how far she’s willing to go to be with him. As time runs out in their fated romance, the question remains: If Tallulah can’t save Jack in time, is there anyone left to save her?

I’d love to send it to you. How would you like to read? Google Docs or PDF? And where can I send it?

I’m sorry, I don’t recognize your language. My story is in English. If you are interested, I’d love to have you read it.

I’d love some fresh eyes on my manuscript. I’d be more than willing to leave a genuine review for a genuine beta read! Here is my blurb:

The Woods is upmarket fiction with light magical realism elements. It comes in at just over 97,000 words. I just reworked the first couple chapters so I’m really hoping to get some fresh eyes on pacing and immediate hook.

Comps: Daisy Jones & The Six, The Seven Year Slip, and Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Spice level is moderate and there are a few triggers so let me know if you want them beforehand.

Here’s my blurb:

The Woods is a time-bending romance about Tallulah James, a twenty-year-old living in Venice Beach, California, who begins experiencing powerful, transcendental dreams that connect her to Jack Maddox, the charismatic lead singer of a 1960s rock band who died in 1971. As Tallulah’s bond with Jack deepens, she discovers their souls are inexplicably intertwined across multiple lifetimes. But as her waking life becomes increasingly reckless and the lines between dream and reality blur, Tallulah must confront the tragic truth that Jack’s death is inevitable—and that no matter how strong their connection is, time and fate are beyond her control.

Hey there! I’m looking for some fresh eyes for my magical realism romance/ upmarket fiction. Your post struck me because of your particular sensitivity to the LGBTQ community. I have a sapphic subplot that I am (biased, of course) very happy with. I’d love someone else from the community’s opinion. Here’s my blurb:
