Hello!
I’m working on a sentence for my story and I’m not sure if it sounds clear:
“Tom was also like a brother to me. More precisely, he was the son of my mother’s closest friend, whom I chose to call Brother, even though we weren’t related.”
I’m worried that the sentence might sound like I’m calling my mother’s closest friend “Brother” instead of her son. Does the wording make that clear, or should I rewrite it?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
