It's Called Hiding the Truth, Not Lying

Review by- Cuddle_Puddle

For- Rudely-Enough_Its_Me

I hope you like the review and dont find it too harsh. Here it goes-

Cover- 6.5/10
I guess your cover does not exactly match the genre of your story. Your story is a humor based while your cover depicts something in the category of mystery. The reader must get an idea that it will be a fun ride for him/her just on seeing the cover. I would suggest if you get a funky or rather a little bright cover for your happy-go-lucky-story. People searching for a humourous story will prefer your book more if they like your cover.

Title- 8/10
The title of your story is quite interesting and inviting too. It really built the curosity of what will this story give away. Well done on that!

Story beginning- 9/10
The story beginning is quite nice. Its according to the way you told the character will be i.e. overdramatic. The ice-cream dropping one has been repeated in some of the other novels too but not that much to make it a cliche, so its a fresh start to the book. I guess you should have made the prologue a little more detailed as it gives the idea of your plot. For eg like introducing what actually happened in the party in a littlr detail and about Angela's close friends and cousin. Otherwise it was all good!

Punctuation mistakes/Grammar mistakes/Spelling errors- 8/10
You do have some grammatical mistakes in your story. But I can understand as your book is still incomplete and not edited. I will advice you to check the tenses you use in the story as there are errors related to it. There are times when a paragraph has both present and past tense used together. Dont worry as they are minor ones and not huge like a dinosaur! No grammar police will get involved once you recheck your chapters. No punctuation errors till now and just too small spelling errors in between.

Story structure- 8.8/10
The paragraphs are neatly constructed accordingly. The thing is that, you should prevent writing too long sentences. They are a little difficult to link with as they contain just too much details in a single line. Do make them too short just because I said that long ones dont do. Keep them moderate and relaxing.

Other thing I would like to tell is that you should not write all the dialogues all together. It creates a confusion when two to three people are speaking together as the readers are not able to differentiate between the characters speaking the lines. It is advisable that you write 'replied xyz' at the end of the dialogue or seperate them with describing the current scenario or expressions of the people present in the scene.

Plot- 8.9/10
The plot is really interesting. The main thing being that its a humor book just adds to my interests. It is quite attached to its main idea and I am liking the way its going. I just hope that you add a little info about the appearance of the characters here and there so that the readers will be able to imagine them.

Would I recommend this book?
Yes obviously I will. The story is really a piece to hold on to. I just hope it ends with a good note and lots of appreciation. I am already liking it. Just make sure to keep it updated.

Overall score- 8.7/10

Dont judge your book on the scores. Keep on writing it and I am sure it will burn the ranking charts! Hope to see you back with a new request!
