Book Title: Quater Life Crisis

Title: 4/5

I like the play on the words and find it unique, however, I'm confused on how it can be a quarter life crisis when the main character is 21.

Blurb: 3/5

I like how descriptive the blurb is where it gives just enough information about what the story is about. However, it is just a little too wordy where I feel like it could be condensed in a way. Another thing is that there are some misuses of punctuation where there are too many commas which just make it a run-on sentence.

Plot/flow of story: 20/20

The plot remains consistent throughout the entire story where it is really easy to follow along and slowly builds up at a good pace. As for the flow of the story, the story moved at a great rate where nothing was rushed or dragged on. All the chapters connected with one another and when time was skipped it was mentioned like "a week later..."

Character Development: 10/10

The characters show signs of development throughout the entire story and it is noticeable in each chapter, especially with the main character in a positive way. For example in the beginning the main character did not leave her apartment or hang out with her friends as much but then she went out more and hung out with her neighbor.

Grammar: 2/5

There was a strong use of different words that really made this story strong instead of just using traditional words. However, there was a lot of mispunctuation with commas that needed periods or no commas at all. Also there needs spaces with some words since there was no pace and there were some misspelled words as well as some areas where there were different tenses being used.

Readers enjoyment: 10/10

I really enjoyed this story and immediately added it to my reading list. I found the main characters' stress and worries relatable because still at 23 I am expected to have everything figured out once I graduate or at least that's what it feels like.

Overall Score: 49/55

Overall, there are different versions of this trope (boy next door) but the author made it their own which makes it an original in their own way. I really like how the author made the characters relatable, especially the main character with her worries and the pressure of parents. Furthermore, the author made the story where the readers will enjoy reading the story and where they will not get lost. I personally could not put down the story. The only areas that need some improvements are the grammar/punctuation. When I go through and edit my stories, I read the story out loud so that way I can make sure it sounds right and I add the proper punctuation. However, the punctuation did not make the story hard to read.
