Writing Style:

The story is written in the third person pov, this way, the reader gets an omnipresent view of the entire story setting. However, most of the story is being told from Emily’s view. Only a few chapters have Tyler in the forefront.

Spellings and Vocabulary:

There are little to no spelling and vocabulary errors. Phrasing, spacing, and punctuation are well done.

Overall Impression:

It was the best idea to write this book in the third person. The story writing and pacing are very mature and relatable. The jokes and physical descriptions are not overly used but subtly inserted into the writing. The book is very well written.

Strengths & Weaknesses:

The weakness of this story is centered on the plot however, the writing style and pacing have covered up the common troupe very well. The insertion of rules in the context of best friends is very unique, it is mostly used in arranged marriage or relationship settings. This added a very interesting flair to the story.

Recommendation:

I would like to make an honest opinion of something, and that is with the use of the word “you” for the female character’s persona. You could just use her name like she is another character in the book. You don’t have to help the reader put themselves in her position.

I would recommend breaking down and spacing paragraphs into smaller ones for easy reading.
