1. Cover - 9/10.
I like the minimalistic vibe of the cover! The colors complement the title and the overall idea of the book. Good work!
2. Title - 10/10.
You cared 'bout the title and it paid off! Great job!:)
3. Description - 10/10.
Description is short and simple. It gives you the basic idea of the book but doesn't give out the whole story! The mentioning of the basic idea the story is based off on is good as it tells the reader the kind of book it is. If they like such a genre, then they would definitely want to read more.Well done!
4. Character and Plot -10/10.
I like the characters! The characters have the personalities that they need to create their aura and keep the story interesting. Opal also does her "character development" well. And the plot — as it's a coming of age tale that revokes the social issues — it's well constructed in the story. The way you've addressed the issue, and the way Opal learns to speak up for herself is commendable. Good work!
5. Writing style and Grammar - 9.5/10.
I like the writing style. The flow that's needed is there! It's easy to read and understand, pretty good. The grammar is on point too, though a few errors can be seen here and there. If you have time, then I recommend you to re-read your story thoroughly, you can spot the errors if you pay a lil attention!
6. Creativity - 10/10.
Your creativity can be seen in the very first chapter. The way Opal introduces herself and says that she wouldn't tell us (readers) what she looks like because she will feel embarrassed if we were to ever see her— heck so cute!
7. Originality - 10/10.
It's original, I can tell. Even though a few basic ideas are common prompts, it still feels like someone's original work. You put your heart into this book, didn't you?:)
8. Review of EACH chapter thoroughly:
Chapter 1:
First of all, I would like to say that the "dedication" part is too cute. Close to heart. And that quote— ATE. +1
I like the way Opal introduced herself — creates a friendly aura with the readers! You've provided all the basic necessary details which won't get us confused. +1
A good base chapter. Helps the readers get an idea of what the story is going to be like. Makes us (readers) want to read more. +1
Chapter 2:
GIRL, you have me HOOKED. +1
With those small yet detailed chapters, you're really good at doing your thing, huh. The way Opal talks about Brayden and tells us everything that we need to know is well written. +1
The part where she tells that her boyfriend has a little moustache that he seems to be proud of— just because it's "manly" speaks a lot about his character. Sure, you can have a moustache but to be proud of it just to prove that you're manly is somewhat toxic masculinity. +1
The way she mentions that every morning she wakes up to his boyfriend's texts makes the readers go "awww cute". BUT, right then after that, she mentions that she responds to his I love yous by saying "oh my gosh thank you so much" or "thank you babe" immediately makes the readers feel like something is OFF about the whole situation. Makes the reader have questions like "huh? Why isn't Opal saying I love you too or something?" Keeps the readers hooked. +1
Chapter 3:
It makes me feel like Opal is trapped. Trapped in a routine, trapped in a relationship that she doesn't even enjoy being in to the max. +1
The way she says she woke up, like yesterday, like the day before, the day before that, and so on speaks that she is tired somewhat. And again, the way she replies to her Brayden's text is DRY, another reason for us (readers) to feel like she doesn't wanna be in that relationship with Brayden. +1
Chapter 4 and Chapter 5:
The story picks up it's actual pace at chapter 5. I like the way chapter 4 has been constructed. Even though it's short, it's kinda detailed. Gives you a glimpse of the thing. +1
In chapter 5, we can see how Brayden is inconsiderate of Opal's feelings. He's an asshole is what I would like to call him, you did a good job portraying him like that! +1
The part where Opal tells us (readers) how Brayden touches her wherever and whenever shows that he only cares about himself and himself only. It also gives you a hint that Opal is naive and not very strong in terms of putting a firm hand on what she believes. +1
And her friends? They're not even friends — shows what kinda people she's surrounded by. She's naive and seems to be very easy-going. It's good for the story as later on, according to the plot, she starts to speak up against those who do wrong and learns to stand up for herself. Good job, Kai!! +1
>>Overall liking of book 98/100.
Great work!!<3
