Title: 5/5
The title is short and unique, which subtly hints the ending. Perfect!

Aesthetic: 3/5
The aesthetics were very neat and cute, but it's only about pictures of clothing. Mainly a character aesthetic is to describe them without words. For example, since the male lead likes photography, you could add a picture of a camera.

Cover: 10/10
It's really cute and attractive! The color palette worked together perfectly. It also matches the story very all, refreshing and bubbly.

Blurb: 9/10
Well written blurb, short and neat with perfect choice of words. I couldn't exactly guess what the story was about from the blurb though, but too much description can ruin a blurb, so good job!

Plot: 8/10
I feel like the plot's main structure was taken from all the 2014's highschool novels, with the mean girl, sweet best friend, annoying guy and but the twists and turns made the story very enjoyable. It appears the story is mainly focused on the two main leads and their families and the other characters seem to just come and go, but it's hard to pull something like that off and make the story enjoyable, so plus points for that.

Orginality: 7/10
The best part that I liked about the story was the original ones. There were many common tropes, yes, but the writer used them to create something from their own style. The introduction was a bit of a downfall, I feel like the majority of YA fictions start with someone waking from an alarm. But the way you described it...it's unlike any other! I do think if the project from for three, it would have been funny to have someone be the third wheel.

Grammar: 10/10
The book had very good grammar and choice of words. The sentence structure could improve though. It was narrated with a lot of full stops, like some sort of biography. The writer has an amazing choice of words so I think they can definitely pull it off if they made their sentences a bit longer with commas and other words.

Here's a bit of an example I made:

"Two hours of sitting with Zac was pain, a royal one. I had to endure him for so long, how I was going to further endure it for the next three months, however, was beyond me."

-Chapter two

Characters: 9/10
The cast of characters were interesting, had interesting names and their own personalities. I loved the family name "Woodville". The female lead reminds me of Queen Elizabeth Woodville, although they are two different birds, maybe because they both were smart (and a little bad*ss). Unlike the common tropes, the female lead stood up for herself and actually fulfilled her dream in the end instead of being a vampire mafia alpha wolf's mate (jk >_<) but I didn't see much character development on anyone except Zac, who's one of my fav.

Writing: 10/10
Good grammar helps make the writing clear, and she nailed that part. The writing flow was smooth, the way the writer described things was amazing! Just felt like if the style was a bit more humorous, it would be even better, but that's just a slight hunch and I love the writing just as it is!

Chapters: 7.5/10
Some chapters were quite uneventful compared to their next ones. I think instead of making one chapter long and full of climax, you could add the uneventful part in the beginning, the finish the chapter when the climax comes. It's a bit cruel for readers, but that's what keeps us turning pages! ;)

Overall Enjoyment: 8.5/10
I enjoyed the story very much! It moved quickly from a serious to a humorous setting, opening different moods for the reader in the book. You have a good way of conveying emotion through writing. I loved the descriptions, it almost made me feel like it was happening to me. And you put some originality to season it up!

In conclusion: 87/100
I loved reading this story, it was adorable and interesting. You definitely knew how to get someone hooked to a story. Your writing has much more potential than some publishing authors these days, I wish you good luck for the future.
