Veterinarian Cassie takes a sabbatical following a difficult euthanasia. But what begins as a foray into the stunted world of Britain’s agricultural colleges, morphs into an uncomfortable attraction with the garish course director, a reserved man of many secrets. Cassie must choose: love or career.

I love how you represented the important topic of career burnout and the difficulties of the veterinary field. I was drawn in to the story right away. I'd like the POV to be a little deeper and closer so that I can feel every emotion Cassie is experiencing vs feeling like I'm on the outside of it all- don't be afraid to dive into the 5 senses so we can step in her shoes.

Interesting perspective but I had a hard time wanting to read further. But as for the writing, well done.
