Review| Thirty-eight

'Fixation' Book by 

Cover: It's a pretty cover, but the picture of the cabin looks over-edited. Try something simple and reduce the wording going on the cover. It makes it hard to focus on the picture. 3 points

Titles: It is short and sweet, but I found it hard to understand the reason for the name. 5 points.

Summary/blurb: I love it. It makes me want to continue the book to the end, and it will draw in readers. 10 points.

Plot: I've never been a fan of slow-burn stories because I feel like the scenes are over-milked so much that the meaning becomes bland. Although your story is very intriguing, and I especially love the beginning of how Nick and Brielle arrive at the cabin. I would suggest picking up the pace a bit because it was very exhaustive to read to a point where I could give a review. 19 points

Character development: Initially, I found the relationship between Nick and Brielle cute and swoon-worthy. As the story progresses, I get frustrated about why Nick keeps switching up on her faster than the weather. Brielle is a sweet girl, but she is easy to manipulate and doesn't seem to have opinions of her own. I enjoy the references dropped about the sister and the boyfriends pointing out each other's flaws. I like how you portray them. The story is a slow burn which made it hard for me to spot any change in Brielle's character, but the boyfriend started giving me stalker vibes after chapter one. 15 points.

Style of writing: You chose the first person and informal. You executed the writing style perfectly, and I enjoyed reading it. 10 points.

Grammar: I spotted abnormal word use, misuse of certain punctuations and wordy sentences. You can correct it by proofreading using Grammarly or ProWritingAid. 5 points.

Total: 67 points

Now here's my advice.

Even though I don't enjoy slow-burn books, my favourite part was when the old man showed up. I liked how he popped out of nowhere and gave me the chills. It was perfect, and it moved the story forward.

The dialogue was too much. There were some aspects that a quick narrative could explain, plus you could portray what they should say through their actions instead of making them talk. If not handled with care, it looks sloppy.

I found it cute how Nick's charms easily sway Brielle, even though she had warnings coming at her from her sister. This goes to pass a message to your readers. (If I'm wrong, please correct me on this, but this gave me vibes.)

And finally, I hope you enjoy what you do and finish your lovely book because you have your story mapped out.

Have a nice day.
