The Motive by Khurrum Rahman
2.5
dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

this was okay. 
it felt a bit all over the place and more like an introduction of characters to a larger story -which i guess it is but should it read like it?- and how they behave in a stressful situation. 

i think for what this story is it tried to be too many different things and include to many different  topics and themes into such a short story. 
between the 20 year olds and their issues, the drug dealing, the police and the things that happen at the party would already be a lot but include brexit and religion into it as well? that’s a too few pages to handle all of that.

oh well not everything is for everyone.
