Title

The title of this book is 'My Little El' and I think it works well with what I've read so far, although it is insanely cliché; guy gives girl a pet name and it eventually becomes a title reference. Um, that's something I've seen a lot around wattpad and it isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just a tad predictable.

Cover

I don't like the cover. It's not something that immediately grabs my attention. When I sesrched for the book, the title intrigued me but the cover threw me off. The image used is common, and the font and the image colours don't blend well. I suggest a curlier more cursive font style and something that portrays more of your main character Eleanor, who the title nicknames El. I also don't think the cover goes with the title that much, and the image doesn't fit Eleanor's description well. I recommend removing the rectangular box around the font and adding maybe a subtitle or something like a slogan.

Blurb

Your synopsis was amazing! I immediately wanted to delve into your novel because of how you worded it. I'm a person who likes to look at tags before reading the blurb, but when I saw it, I was like damn, this author knows how to pull her readers in.

I loved the intricacy of the words and how you described the relationship between El and Lukas. It left me wondering what happened between the two and why does Lukas react the way he does. Please reread the description though. There are a few missing words here and there. Nonetheless, good job!

Beginning

Your prologue had me in tears. The scenes portrayed in it were eye-catching and had me feeling sympathetic for Eleanor. My favourite part was at the locker where she found out Cyclus had ripped her books and his girl poured the soda on them. It got me so enraged that I wish I could jump in your book and give everyone a kick in their horrible faces.

Your writing style was smooth and easy to follow and your choice of language was exquisite. I did enjoy the chapter so once again, well done! I suggest turning the prologue into a first chapter because it's not really suitable for a prologue

Middle and End

So this book was eight chapters - nine if you include the prologue - so there wasn't much of a middle or end, but based on what I've read so far, the plot has been moving along quite well. I could see parts from the synopsis coming out in each ongoing chapter. I could see the relationship between each character develop more and more with every word. I like that.

Writing

Yes, I do adore your writing style, however, there are more important things to focus on, like the problem with you putting the beginning quotations at the bottom. I haven't seen any grammatical or capitalization errors, but that one issue throws off my reading. Everything was perfect initially but at chapter three it started and I was just so confused and irritated by it. I think that's something to work on.

Characters

From the nine initial chapters, I can say, I've seen plenty of active characters, which makes me feel really enthralled, because each person has their own story, their own desires, their own differences. The whole thing doesn't revolve around El, but she's still the main focus. It comes out especially with that chapter in Lukas' POV, where it isn't necessarily about Eleanor, but his method of survival. Loved that 💕!

Overall Impression

In conclusion, I thought 'My Little El' was an astonishing read. For the most part, everything was proper and in line and the different story parts blended well together to form an interesting story.

I think you have the potential to be one of the next big hits on here, so just work on the points I've mentioned and you'll do great. Also, that lowercase L in little, please put that in uppercase and if you need a new cover, you could consult our graphics book! We'd be happy to help you! I'll definitely continue reading.
