Review

Title :-

A catchy one I must say . Whether it goes well with the story or not is a latter part as the story is on the initial stages .

But , on the first look basis....Yes , I would give it a try !

Cover :-

The cover is quite attractive and the fonts used are stylish enough . The background colour and the font's colour blend with each other perfectly .

It's simple and apt for the story .

Prologue / Blurb :-

The blurb was confusing and to be honest , it didnt have the element that hooks me up into the story .

But I decided to give it a chance only when I found the tag 'badboy' . As you know bad boy stories are the pillars of wattpad and its win-win situation for both the author and the reader .

So , I suggest you to change the blurb into a interesting one . A bad boy story requires the perfect aura that hooks up a reader .

The prologue was a plus point . Now that's where I got hooked up beside the tag .

It gives a glimpse of Eli's personality and the other women seated beside her whom I presume to be damien's mother but it's just an assumption .

The scenes takes forward in a fast motion and boom , there is a cliffhanger !

Simply , it was intriguing and everyone at this point will most likely decide to give it a try .

Plot :-

The plot is different , not your everyday badboy story but still , it holds the normal clichè element like the female lead gets caught trying to act bold in front of the badboy of the school inspite of the best friend who warns you not to .

I suggest you to avoid such clichè parts in the future chapters as it gets boring after a certain point .

But what's actually different about your story ?

Unlike other badboy stories which is quite predictable , this isnt and it kind of has a plot instead of a boring badboy-goodgirl act . That's all I can say as of now .

Since the story is on-going , the plot is starting to unfold .
It seems mysterious and kind of a thriller type story .

I am sure , its something to do with the car crash and that women , who was the passenger and that's how the story unfolds .

Let see , how the story actually unfolds and I seriously hope you dont lose the suspense and mystery grip on your story as it goes on .

Characters :-

Elizabeth is a independent women and that's one of the trait , I like about her . She knows how to Express her emotions at right places and it is almost like a reality check unlike the Dumb female leads we normally find .

Also her background story is quite saddening . I seriously hope to see some of her backup story as well as the story progresses .

Damien's character is a mystery but Man , he holds the aura around him which is swoon-worthy . The way you describe his character is just hot !

Alex appears to be flirt , funny and the typical golden bad boy .

Now , the shocking character was Emily . I thought she was the typical friend character who just becomes best friends with the female lead as soon as she walks into the school hall .

But , Boom ! Her character was totally not what I imagined . She being cold , showing attitude , reserved and daring is just amazing and likeable .

Like I said , you have broken many stereotypes that usually prevails in wattpad .

Good job on that .

Grammar/sentence formation :-

The grammar is good and you have good grip on penning the sentences and dialogues down .

There are some typos which could be corrected by proof reading before publishing .

Otherwise , its quite good and definitely readable .

Conclusion :-

The story is categorized under badboy hence there will be quite a lot of expectations because this is not something new and almost everyone likes reading about badboys .

But , you have a good plot and a grip on the story development as I can see of now . I seriously hope you keep your 'A' game in this story and hope it turns out good .

The strength of the story is that , it breaks quite a lot of stereotypes that readers generally have in their mind .
I would ask you to continue breaking them too .

That's where you story will get the recognition that it deserves !

Note :- sorry If i was rude , this is only to help you get better ! All the best for your future works ××
