Although I'm really sad it was a no, she gave me some incredible feedback. She included one line at the end which leads me to believe this may be an R&R, but unsure if I'll be doing so. In any case, glad to have queried her and will definitely query her in the future.

“Thanks so much for thinking of me with this project. Unfortunately, even though there are some great elements, it didn't quite spark for me. Please keep in mind this is an incredibly subjective business, so I encourage you to keep submitting and I hope other agents feel differently. Best of luck!”
