daphnechimm thank you so much for requesting a review - I hope it is useful!

⭐️ COVER ⭐️

4/5

I think the matching covers of your books works quite nicely, and I think this cover format works better for this book. The picture of Jimin gives the impression that he is a little stuck up, and you can really picture him as the class president.

⭐️ DESCRIPTION ⭐️

3.5/5

I think it sets the scene very well for the book, and let's the reader know exactly what the book is about. I think the fact that it's also quite concise is also helpful in grabbing a reader's attention. The first line feels a little bland, and I think you could make it a bit punchier so that the reader will definitely continue reading the description.

⭐️ PLOT ⭐️

4/5

I am a bit of a sucker for high school fics so I did enjoy reading about this. I thought your flashback into Jimin's past was a really interesting plot twist and not one that I expected which helped explain a lot about why Jimin is the way he is.

⭐️ WRITING ⭐️

3.5/5

I didn't notice any grammatical errors which really helped the writing flow nicely. I thought at times there was a lot of dialogue with not enough description to break it up but I understand that when two characters are meeting for the first time this is inevitable.

⭐️ CHARACTERS ⭐️

3.5/5

I liked the character of Jimin and I think you can do a lot of interesting things with his character later on in the book related to his past. However, I felt like the confidence in Yuna was a bit sudden and abrupt just because you hadn't really characterised her like that at the beginning of the book. I think if you continue to develop your characters emotionally they both have the potential to be really interesting.

⭐️ SPECIFIC POINTS ⭐️

Obviously it's very early on in the book so I can't make any big judgements on it, but I would recommend planning out the plot of the book if you haven't already just so you know the pacing of the storyline. You don't want anything to seem forced or too quick in the development of their relationship, and so planning always helps me pace my books.

I think you have a strong starting place for a good book, just remember to expand upon your characters and have them grow as people throughout the book.
