Disclaimer: I am not a professional critic.

The following evaluation is just a perspective. All details are just my opinion. I might praise the story or say things that are not that pleasant to know. These, however, do not define the worth of the book nor the author. Readers have their own preferences. I am only giving a detailed analysis and assessment that may help improve the story. It is not my intention to offend or hurt anyone. If any part of this critique did, I sincerely apologize. Lastly, the author has the right to follow or not follow any suggestions I would give; to agree or disagree with my remarks.

Thank you so much for entrusting this critique to me. It is truly an honor.

Warning: Spoilers ahead!

Legend:

🏅 - 👍 or ❤️

💤 - neutral or 👎

🏳️ - suggestions or corrections

Remark: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Lalo na if you want good and nostalgic feels pero mawawasak sa dulo.

TITLE

🏅Tama naman since it describes the length of the relationship

💤Masyado din itong general, broad, at common.

🏳️[Suggestion] "Saan natigil ang pagiging totoo" ... I know sobrang descriptive pero ang on-point niya for the story. Anyway, it is up to you naman.

COVER

🏅Neat and simple. May mas igaganda pa pero okay naman na ang kasalukuyan. Hindi na problema.

DESCRIPTION

🏅On-point

🏳️Ayusin lang natin slight. Medyo off kasi na "used to write" ang nakalagay sa una tapos nagsulat naman pala ulit siya. Faded na ang relevance nitong unang sentence. Diretsuhin na lang.
