Just couldn't connect

As I put in the title, I just couldn't connect with this. There are two stories here, and from the beginning the author hops back and forth between the two. Sometimes that can work, but when you're halfway through it and there is still no apparent connection, it gets annoying. Particularly when neither has any apparent point by halfway through. ( )

From Detention to Incarceration
Review of the Amazon Original Kindle eBook (September 2020)

The constant change of narrators felt disjointed in this short story. Initial bad kid grows up to be a predator and is judged by the banal commentary of the jurors in their off-court time.

Bear Witness is one of seven Amazon Kindle eBooks released September 1, 2020 as part of their Amazon Original Out of Line collection of short stories about women taking control. ( )
