⭐️ COVER ⭐️

5/5

I really love this cover, and I think it's really beautifully executed. The muted effect on the picture makes it appear very professional and evokes a lot of feeling. I think the two fonts work well together and really stand out on the cover.

⭐️ DESCRIPTION ⭐️

4/5

You certainly build up mystery and suspense for your book in this description, and overall I think it is really effective. Perhaps you could have a longer description of the plot itself, but that's obviously personal preference as I know some people really like shorter descriptions.

⭐️ PLOT ⭐️

3.5/5

I did like the overall plot, and I thought your reflection at the end was a really beautiful edition and something I think writers should do more often. However, there were a few instances where I got a little confused about what was happening because the chapters would move quite quickly e.g. when the scandal itself happens it feels very abrupt, and as a reader I had re-read the previous chapters because I was certain I had missed something. Potentially some more explanation of the big events in the plot would help clarify some things.

⭐️ WRITING ⭐️

4.5/5

I thought the writing in this was beautiful, and you had some really poignant lines. There were a few tiny grammatical errors but nothing that hindered the overall flow of the story. I liked the length of most of your chapters, and I thought overall you had a great balance between description and dialogue.

⭐️ CHARACTERS ⭐️

⭐️ CHARACTERS ⭐️

4.5/5

I liked how your characters weren't perfect. They had flaws like jealously which was really interesting and I thought you played into these flaws very well.  I also liked how you showed us the perspective of both characters as I thought it really helped to enrich the story.

⭐️ SPECIFIC POINTS ⭐️

Sometimes you have to remember that while a plot may seem obvious and clear inside your head, to the reader things may be moving too quickly or may not be explained enough. For instance, I thought Jin moving from being a barista to being a model was a very sudden shift, and it wasn't developed enough for the reader to understand right away what was happening.

With a bit more explanation, I think you will have a beautiful and heartbreaking love story!
