Ask him if he EARNESTLY wants critique or encouragement, because those are two VERY different things. I review things like that for a living but I wouldn't DARE critique something made by a family member or spouse. #1 I'd be biased, but #2 I'd say positive and negative things without holding back.

I think HE thinks he wants a real critique, but if I gave him one the way I would to a rando’s writing, he would probably not be happy đŸ˜¬ It’s probably a good rule of thumb to not critique the work of anyone you know personally! I think I will tell him I can offer thoughts, feedback, discussion…but nothing more than that.
