The only thing wrong about this book is the spacing. The spacing and paragraphing needs a lot of improvement. The summary needs work too but aside that, the whole book is amazing and entertaining.

The cover is visually appealing. The title fits the book just fine. The summary is not that intriguing, it needs to be worked on. The first line is smooth. I love that your plot isn't the kind of cliché I was expecting. The fact that there are many characters in just the beginning of the book and I can tell who from who shows you did a good work of it. You could do better though. You need to work on your punctuation and spacing. Your grammar is satisfying and you almost have no spelling errors. Suffice to say, it is a good book but you can make it a great book.

4. Erase & Rewind by Allison_Hei
Cover: 2/5
Title: 4/5
Summary: 3/5
First line/ paragraph: 10/10
Plot: 30/30
Characterization: 5/5
Writing style: 18/20
Grammar: 20/20
Total: 92/100

The cover is what you'd call diamond in the rough. It's not very appealing, but when you tap on the book, you'd be glad you did. I think the cover could use a change. The title fits the book just fine. The summary is good but I think you could jazz it up a little. The first paragraph was smoothly written and enticing because it shows how well you can put your visualizations into words.
The plot is overall wonderful, I can honestly say it needs no work and each chapter leaves you hungry for more. Writing out diverse characters and showing the differences in their personalities is not an easy feat and a challenge for most authors but not for you. You have that one in the bag.
Your grammar is superb, choice of words appropriate and descriptive. Spelling errors are practically non-existent. All in all, this is a really great book.
