I recall that you requested from my graphic shoppe in the past, but even if the cover I made wasn't the one on your book within the time of judging, the design is beautiful. Again, I find simplicity and minimal things so elegant, and I loved your cover. Good job.

As far as I've read, the characters I encountered were; Kelly, Gabi, Reece, Leo, and Cassie.
Let me start by saying KELLY AND GABI ARE HILLARIOUS. I can't believe they have a hat full of pranks (I might just convince my best friends to do that so I can bug them HAHA). I love how Kelly is described like a model, while Gabi had more of a gothic style. I just want you to be careful with this, since most Wattpad books have friends who are polar opposites, (ya know, the pretty and the emo one) and that might steer you towards clichés.
But aside from that, Reece and Leo were also cool, although again, be careful with the clichés of being the typical bad boys who hit on girls and the one night stands, blah, blah, blah, you get it 😂
I love your characters, and I'm curious as to what will happen when and if Kelly pranks Reece.

The length of the chapters was perfect for Wattpad (not too long, and not too short, because you don't want to bore the readers or make them stop reading either). Puctuation, check. Grammar, check. My only concern is spelling, where there was a typo in the description, and in chapter one.
Gabi got up to, picking up her purse.
should be
Gabi got up too, picking up her purse.
I'm not sure if this is already edited since I wrote this review days ago, but the mistakes are small errors that can easily be fixed.
Btw, I love your playlist! Especially Back To You by Selena Gomez, it's my current fave.

"All they needed was a prank that went wrong and a Café down the road to capture eachothers hearts."
First, please check your spelling on the description, since it may throw off some readers (: Eachothers should be each other's.
As far as I have read, the plot is unique. Kelly and Gabi have a violet hat with pranks, and from there on I can tell it's different, which I love. Small details count, and this is an important factor because it's not something you see everyday. Great job.
S T Y L Escore: 24/30
I'm only reviewing chapters one and two, but I can't not mention that you're prologue is amazing. I love it, and I'm really curious about who are the ones speaking in the conversation. (I think it's Kelly and Reece?)
The cafe is located in London, but I suggest adding more description. Make the readers feel London. Let them hear the british accent. I myself haven't been to the U.K, and would like to see a little more details with your words (:
O V E R A L Lscore: 68/70
Of course, you wouldn't have won second place if your work wasn't amazing. I loved it, good job. I recommend everyone to check out Cafe Jokes and give it a chance!
