Cover :: 07/ 10 Well, the cover created a very suitable picture for the story line. Even so, the picture seems kind of blurred and the title along with the author's name was very boring. I'd like to suggest changing the font of the title and using another color rather than white. If you want to use white, at least you can try on using effects for the texts. It's actually pretty easy to make it in Canva. If you are thinking it might be hard, you are free to seek a graphic designer's help because the cover is one of the main points of attracting readers to a book. An eye-catching cover has readers intrigued to read the book and even though we say to not judge a book by its cover, that's what we always do. So having a good cover is really important as it's one of the things a reader notices at first glance in the book, neither the plot nor the characters.
Title :: 4/5 It actually blends well with the story-line just like the cover. Yet I'd say it seems kind of not that catchy like before. Julianna, is kind of a common name but that theme matches the story-line.
Blurb :: 8/10 It's intriguing. That's what it was for me. I saw a few mistakes in it and it should be better if they were made right. 'There are two side to a coin.' It should be, "There are two sides to a coin.'' Other than that, I noticed how you have tried to express it like reading an autobiography. And in my opinion, I felt that you succeeded in it.
Plot and Twists :: 22/ 25 The plot was actually very interesting. I liked how Julianna's life revolved around it and it was quite interesting to read. The plot was going in a steady flow so there weren't any problems there either. Keep it up! There weren't many plot twists yet other than chapter eight, so hard for me to say much of. However, I can guess that there's gonna be a lot and I'm already eager to know who she mentioned about would make her and the other person's life better by the video she is recording. As it was already a very intriguing story, I can say it will be much better in future chapters. Just to remind that twists is one of main reasons for a reader to stay with the book till the end.
Characters and Emotions :: 8/10 The characters were also one of the strong points I noticed in this story. I liked Julianna's friend Dalia the most. I think you have done a pretty good job on forming the characters and expressing them to readers without leaving any ways to make misunderstandings to the reader. Emotions were portrayed well till now and I don't think there are many problems in that. But sometimes the talking was more than the emotions and I do think it can be better too. All I can say is, 'So far, so good.'
Writing Style :: 13/15 The vocabulary used was very catchy despite the fact that sometimes there were unnecessary places with unnecessary words. For example you have written but the words you used are not the best words to express the situation. I also saw that the author has expressed very unique thoughts about matters and I liked it. There was quite mature writing so I'd say it's a quiet strength of your work!
Grammar and Vocabulary :: 18/20 Grammar was great. I didn't notice any mistakes and it's actually good. Having good grammar is a plus point in a book because some readers can get pretty easily annoyed by mistakes and it would eventually make them stop reading the book. Yours was good so all I have to say is keep it up. Don't let typos ruin it.
Reviewer's Thoughts :: 4/5 I personally liked the book. I liked how the main character's life came to its downfall and it was an interesting plot. I honestly kept wondering why it had so few reads but I think maybe it lacked in the points I mentioned in the cover, but hey, you will eventually have more. What's more important is to finish writing a story no matter how many reads it has.
Total :: 84/100
Strengths and Weaknesses ::Characters, grammar, writing style was a strength in my opinion. Blurb was also a strength but I couldn't help but to think, 'Could've it been better?' But it's actually a very good blurb after all of that small mistake was made right. Writing style however could be a bit better. Similarly, the cover can be refurbished as well. The cover lacked in catchiness and if it were to be added-it would be actually a good cover. Lastly all I want to say is, I enjoyed reading your book for the review and I hoped that you could finish writing the story just as you planned!
