    lz:

    With your revision, your story has hooked my interest.? It’s certainly a topical issue in the context of the #MeToo movement.? And it concerns the most pervasive dirty little secret of family life.

    However:

    “In order to save her relationship” tells us what the stakes are, but, alas, doesn’t constitute an inciting incident.? What triggers the situation that puts her relationship in jeopardy?

    Here’s a suggestion for your consideration:? What if the inciting incident is her forthcoming marriage? No sooner has she said “I will” to his marriage proposal than she starts having PTSD symptoms: nightmares, etc.? And whereas they had a lively sex life before then engagement, now she goes frigid, has panic attacks whenever he makes a seductive overture.

    Why?? Because of the prospect of being given away by her father on her wedding day.? The fact that he gladly agrees to footing the bill for the wedding — no expense to be spared, only the best for his daughter — is no source of consolation or reconciliation.

    Inserting a wedding? date into the plot also embeds a ticking clock? that heightens dramatic tension and urgency:? she MUST resolve her past before she can go through with the wedding and she has only so much time to do it.

    Best wishes with your writing.

    I really like Richiev’s version.? And I suggest pushing the concept further.

    What if? his? grandfather is an un-beloved, ornery,? old goat who lives miles from town on a small cattle ranch? in the West?? And he lives totally off the grid — no electricity, no phone, no wireless coverage?

    Th kid is sent there for the summer not only? to “cure”? his online addiction? but also to work for his grandfather whose health is declining.? So? the kid? has to to help him by herding cattle,? harvesting hay, building fences, riding horses, etc.? About all of which he is clueless.

    This is a summer with? less than a zero possibility of fun.? Living off the grid is his version of hell.

    Whatever.? My point is, put the urban savvy kid in a situation where in every possible way, he is a fish out of water.? Compelled against his will to? live with a person whom he initially thinks is the last person in the world — in the galaxy, in the universe –he could possibly bond with.
