Originality 8/10

Stand out factor 9/10

Appeal 10/10

Intrigue 10/10

Overall score - 46/50

The title closely resonates with the narrative as it's the nickname of a character. What makes it unique is the author's approach of incorporating a character's nickname and altering the word form to match the title. 

This sets it apart from others in its genre, particularly because we typically associate the term "heartbreak" with emotional pain rather than a burning sensation.

 I'm certain people will be drawn to read this book solely because of its name. Personally, I would definitely pick up this book based solely on its title.

Overall score - 41/50

Given the book's theme, the title closely mirrors the narrative. While it distinguishes itself from other titles, there's also a sense of familiarity. 

What sets it apart is its ability to provide insight into the story without giving away too much.

 I believe this title would certainly attract readers to the book. It's a lovely title indeed, but personally, I tend to avoid books with the word "love" in the title for subjective reasons.

While the title may hold relevance to the story, it could potentially leave readers perplexed due to its subjective nature, which seems somewhat unfamiliar. It appears as though the author coined a unique adverbial phrase.

While it does have a certain degree of distinctiveness, I believe the author could have emphasized more on enhancing the mystery within the book. Undoubtedly, it's a pleasant title that would certainly pique readers' curiosity.

Personally, I'm uncertain if I would choose to read this book based solely on its title. Although I find it intriguing, I sense that I would need some time to uncover its true meaning.
