awww, man!! just when i was starting to like the protagonist, you put him in bed with some random married skank!!! not cool, not cool at all....
and you're a really good writer, so don't mind the critics (except for my quibbles, of course, which follow via "Send Feedback").
Some of the others kind of drug along, but this part was really good!
As we all know, separated is NOT divorced. Joey should not have gone to bed with Sylvia. If Mary were to hear about this I would imagine she would straighten him out.
You should never I mean never date a married woman.
Joes my hero ha ha, this right here is my fantasy love older ladies
Okay Joey is an normal, average human being. Keep in mind some sex, a variety of sex, even great sex does not make a person especially knowledgeable or insightful. It's just sex. One small portion of anybody's life.
Joey was fortunate to survive the big beefy husband. Then survive the police stop. If Joey had been a colored ethnicity that police questioning would most likely have gone very badly for him.
It is to be hoped that he is sincerely chastised by this experience. To quote another fictional character "I was drawn this way!". Just as the author intends.
...intriguing coming-of-age story.
Compelling storytelling skill.

Lots of learning, growing and developing. Good to see that he had a learning experience that didn't cost him hospital time! Even better is that he hasn't had an Eeyore moment in two chapters now!
