1. Describe this person's writing style in three words
Narrating, simple, laconic.

2. What do you like most about this person's writing?
I like that while you didn't use the word "said" for every sentence, you didn't shy away from it either. Not using the phrasing "he/she/they said" at all is a sadly common mistake.

3. What is one piece of criticism you would give them?
Take care to remember your punctuation. Dialogue contains punctuation, as well, so a shout might be "What?" or "What?!" (or sometimes even "What!"), not just "What".

4. Compare this person's work to that of a published author
I'm not sure who to compare you to; I don't know a terrible lot of authors.

5. Which do you think is this person's strongest area - characterisation or plot?
With such a short sample, I really can't tell. So far, though, just with the dialogue and actions, I can already have a taste of what Jamie, Lexi, and her sister are like, so I'll say characterisation.
