Would love critiques on my book
Here is my book. It it a memoir. I would love some edits to make it better. Please be nice about my story. But I would love to make it to the point that I could publish it.

Ok, I read your memoir—— fascinating for sure! Reminds me why I don’t like caving for myself but through your words I did get a strong flavor of your exciting experiences.
And, you were 14 when you had these experiences! Just wow.
Your technical knowledge about caving and rescue is incredible.
I think you gave a good character profile for each person in your story and there was plenty of suspense and drama. I was riveted during certain portions of your story. Other emotions I felt when I was reading: this is scary, this must be challenging for you, you are extremely observant and there are many details that gave me feelings like I was there in the airport, camp, cave, etc., with the expedition.
Prior to publication, your memoir has to be read through carefully and typos, misspellings cleaned up and formatting consistent throughout.
There are a couple of chapters that look like diary notes, like you plan to write more about these lines within the chapter.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to peek into the window of caving thanks to your strong clear writing.
Brava and keep at it!
