The Gap

Creativity: 10/15
I feel like it's confusing because when you first start the story, I feel like instead of starting at the beginning of the story, you're starting in the middle. There's no introduction to the characters except when I guess, they meet in the front. It's confusing because when I read the story. I read it as if I'm halfway through a book, not oh, this is the beginning of the book because it doesn't feel like the beginning of the book. It feels like the middle of a book.

Originality: 15/15
I can say it's originality is there regarding the type of book because it is about the age gap. And sometimes people are finicky about age-cap relationships. This book seems good, but it started off weirdly.

Storytelling:10 /15
Once again, the storytelling is there, but once again, I feel like I'm reading it between the books when I start the book. I'm halfway done with the book; it doesn't seem like a starter. I feel like I got baffled when I started the first chapter. There should have been some concept at the beginning, like introducing her to her backstory, etc., and then teaching him, maybe his backstory, how they met, what's his actual age, what he told her his age, things like that to explain more of the age Gap.

Character:15 /15
I like the characters; regardless of how the story seems, the characters are unique.

Story Flows:15 /15
I didn't see anything wrong with the grammar or the structure. I feel everything flowed very nicely.

Cover Design: 15/15
I think the cover was nice

Final Thoughts:10 /10
At the end of the day, I think the structure is what this story needs. I'm not saying that the sentence structure needs to be done. I think the story structure needs to be reevaluated. Whether it be the plot or the beginning, the ending, etc., I feel like once again, when I started reading this book, I wasn't reading it as a beginning chapter. I felt like I jumped right into the middle of the book, but as a reader, that's what confused me.

Chapters I read:3

Total points: 85

Summary of the book:

Veronica wanted nothing more than to give her younger brother the best she could in life; romance was completely off her grid. That was until she met Jamie. Absolutely gorgeous, unrestrainedly carefree, and ten years her junior, Veronica couldn't help but feel charmed by his attention and quickly fell head over heels for him. But what happens when Veronica finds out that Jamie has lied and he is actually younger than he originally told her? And how will she ever move on when he is determined to carry on from where they left off?
