Once upon a time in a land far far away...
Just kidding!!
A series of some of the stories I've read and appreciate. A story, for me, need not be perfect. No story ever is. Good plot, decent writing and I'm in. Therefore, INTUITION
Synopsis: Hadley Jamison doesn't know what to think when she hears that her classmate, Archer Morales, committed suicide. She didn't exactly know him, but that doesn't stop her from feeling like there was something she could have done to help him. So to Hadley's surprise, on the very night of Archer's funeral, she has a run in with Death himself and is offered the chance to go back in time to stop Archer from ending his life. The catch? She only has twenty-seven days to do it. And if Hadley doesn't succeed? Well, she doesn't want to think about that.
Title: 10 / 10 I don't think anybody would understand the magnitude of how much the title is relevant unless you read the story. The title creates a mysterious tone. Everybody likes a little bit of mystery. What 'In 27 days'? Fall in love in 27 days? Or something else? I quite remember picturing so many different plot lines from the title prior to reading the description. The title is different. When you are done reading a story and think back to the title, it should bring a smile on your face and a sense of satisfaction. This story did.
Description/Foreword:10/10 The first thought when you read the description would definitely be like 'Ahh! This doesn't happen in real life'. I had that thought as well. I did chastify myself later coz hey, it's a fiction. The description is perfect as far as the story goes. There's hardly anything more that the author could've added. So yeah. Perfect There is no foreword which I don't think was exactly necessary for this particular story, so no issues.
Originiality/Creativity/Plot:9/10 The plot is unique. It really is. But if I'm being completely honest, the thought behind the story - although different - I somehow felt like it's been done before. So when I started reading the book, i wasn't expecting anything superlative which I should have, seeing as though the story has so many views. I wasn't quite sure if I would like it or whether or not it would be 'believable'. So the plot really surprised me. Not only was it unique, but it was so realistic. The author has taken care of the tiny little details really well.

Writing: 8.8/10 I don't remember coming across any major mistakes when I read the story. Just a few typos and missing words here and there but nothing major. It's written really well. Written in first person point of view. I might as well add that the story is written only in the female protagonist's point of view. And it does not change anywhere through the story. Although i would've loved to know what was going through Archer's ( the male protagonist ) mind and what exactly were his thoughts, I found myself surprisingly not put out by that fact. I thought it was different from how usually the authors plan out their story. And I think it gives room for the readers to pitch in their own thoughts on how Archer would've reacted to the respective scenarios. That was rather nice. Detailed really well. I have nothing much to say about the writing really. It was almost on point. And I love how the story pans out. Each chapter is written beautifully and with care might I add. However, I thought the last few chapters were rushed? I don't know. It could just be me but the last few chapters didn't get me as involved as the rest of the story did. I still enjoyed it though. So the only issues I had were those last few chapters. The rest of the story, I LOVED!
