First off, good job for writing something this long. That in itself is a huge achievement. As far the content is concerned, here is my opinion: While the premise is interesting, I don’t feel like you ever really explained why exactly all the students decided to fall into the groups that the circles placed them in. It just seems a bit unrealistic that they would change their ways completely because a couple of students placed them in cliques for a project. Maybe if you made the circles magical somehow, that would explain it? The other thing is that the beginning and the end feel a bit unbalanced. The beginning does a good job of setting the scene, but could be cut down a little (the description of what the main characters do with their families in particular became a bit repetitive after a while). Meanwhile, the ending feels rushed. They go through all this effort to make a new circle and then give up just like that when it doesn’t work? I liked how you included diversity in your cast and made them all unique and interesting. You capture their dialogue well and they seem like actual kids you might meet in the hallways. So that’s just what I think, I hope I explained it alright. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to review your book. :)
