COVER: 8/10 I really like the red colour scheme of the cover, as red is very often used to symbolise psychosis. The font for the title is also attractive and has a suiting vibe. However, the subtitle could have a bit more visibility in the cover. The font is fine, but the opacity of the subtitle is low, making it hard to spot it at first glance. Otherwise, the cover is beautiful.
TITLE: 4/5 In a title, arrangement of words matter a lot as you are giving the readers an idea about what to expect from the book. If you had put the title as ‘The Therapist’ it would have created an ambience of suspense. but when you put ‘His Therapist’ it goes on to show that the elements of possessiveness and love are present. so, I would say, you did a really good job there.
BLURB: 8/10 I like the way the blurb has been arranged. Short yet to the point of the synopsis of the story while making sure to not disclose much. But, here’s an advice: if you could add a dialogue, something like what you have added for the subtitle in your cover, it would’ve made it more interesting for readers. A dialogue from the book itself, that is mysterious and impactful. or you can make a quote of your own too. Eitherways, the blurb is really impressive.
PLOT AND TWISTS: 24/25 The plot is a pretty common trope of a psychiatrist meeting a patient, and I'm not saying that’s bad. Using commonly used tropes is fine, but it is necessary to add your own unique twist to it. and you indeed have put it. I like how you have provided sufficient background story for both the characters in a short span of time and their introductions to each other was also well-portrayed, from the foreshadowing, to the actual thoughts they went through- it was nice. The pace you have maintained throughout is also good, as it’s neither too fast nor going too slow, but just right. And, you have done a good job at keeping the readers questioning and curious about more information.
CHARACTERS AND EMOTIONS: 8/10 The characters are well-portrayed. I like how you have maintained the same personality of the characters throughout and not changed them. However, you could’ve done more with the describing part. You have given hints about the character’s features here and there, but it could’ve been more elucidated. I like the way the emotions have been described as the situation suited, something which often writers miss. and they are nicely described.
WRITING STYLE: 12/15 Your writing style is not exactly unique, but it isn’t very common either. The sentences written are simple yet nice, and so is the vocabulary. I would advise using some fancy words a few times to create a better impact on the writing.
GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY: 9/20 About grammar, I have noticed that you have a problem/misconception with punctuations. you have put a capital letter where it has been needed, and used lower case where it’s not required. Also, the usage of commas is too much in your sentences and at some point irrelevant. Full-stops, semi-colons or hyphens can be used too, to break a complex sentence into simple components. Your vocabulary is not exactly strong, but it’s not weak either. I would suggest reading books that have a high vocabulary level, to increase your dictionary.
REVIEWER’S THOUGHTS: 3/5 Honestly, the book is really nice for book lovers who love to read casually, has a nice plot and the scenes are well depicted too. If you could improve your writing style, grammar and vocabulary, it would be a great story.
TOTAL: 76/100
