First of all, I really love the blurb highlighting the interesting aspect of the story and giving out a glimpse of the characters. It does have the catching elements to lure readers. The cover also fits well and the title goes around perfectly.The story started off great with the female protagonist trapped between the two. Except that at some point, I wouldn't really feel the female protagonist's character or the connection between her and the main lead. Instead, I would feel it more between the second lead and her. I also felt that there was some contradicting element at the first chapters where the female protagonist was deemed to be shy but her actions proved otherwise. Coming to writing style, I think it was amazingly implemented with the plot. It felt refreshing to read and there were very few typos which didn't even bother me because of the amazing writing style.

The plot was quite unique and heavy at some parts but it was worth the read. Your writing style is also quite to the level although sometimes I felt that it was too much explained. For example, at the fifty fiifth chapter, the character development level was still at its minimal. Yes, there were definitely glimpses of improvement but it went always went back to the square one after a while. I know it's supposed to be like that to match with your plot but I think more improvement was needed for the protagonist. As for the grammar, there's the need to review tenses here and there. A more suitable title could have been improvised and the cover surely goes by the character of the protagonist but I would prefer something more enticing as the face of the book. The blurb was amazing and your ideas were unique and at the same time realistic.

The story is seriously great and the plot is just very well designed and implemented. I love how I could feel each and every character described, all thanks to your amazing writing style. The slow burn was a major turn on to keep going with the story. Reader's enjoyment will totally amount to a five out of five even after the some minor grammatical mistakes found as the pull you created within the story outweighs all other aspects. However, I've noticed such a little amount of reads the story has which might be due to the blurb, title and cover. Some mistakes in the blurb could have been avoided. The title should be more intriguing to lure readers. Don't get me wrong, 'ESCAPING THE PAST' totally related to the story but it does miss that catching element. I would also like to see some conjunctions when you're constructing your sentences as sometimes they were abrupt and short.

Great flow of the story making the reader grasp all the necessary elements. Writing style is amazingly incorporated all throughout and your choice of words exactly matches the scenes going on. I literally cried as I read the female protagonist's separation from her brother. At all parts of the story, I was able to connect with all the characters.I also really like your creativity with the story and the interaction between the main leads was seriously very well linked. Grammatical flow was also up to the satisfactory level although the punctuation marks may be enhanced. I also appreciate how the cover had a vintage look added to it, thereby matching the story perfectly since it's all about the derby.
