Title: The Day Before
Status: ongoing

Cover; 2.5/5: the over is ok. A bit took dark for my taste. The title, front, and placements are pretty good.

Summery; 2/5 : The summery is important. I get the general idea in it. That's a good thing. But some of the executions need fixing. As well as the capitalization dialogue part. In the second paragraph talks about the main character being a nerd. The way it was executed isn't very 'professional'. Meaning you added the words 'y'know other stereotypical net shit'. Not only is it unprofessional, it's unnecessary. Now the Theo paragraph, I am confused on what you mean about best his best friend. Maybe word it differently so it can be clearer.

Grammar; 3/5: Had pretty decent grammar overall. Your use of commas were good. However, while commas give breaks in sentences, I feel like some of your sentences are just too long. Use at least one period. Don't make a sentence a whole paragraph. There are some capitalizations that need to be fix. But mostly all is good in that area. With word that are apostrophized, I would recommend utilizing the word. Some of the wordings are confusing. I left a comment about that.

Plot; 3/5: Nerd helps jock with his school work. Yeah I heard that a lot. But it's up to the writer to make this generic plot unique. You only have five chapters, so I only have a little taste on your writing style. So far, in my opinion, it's ok. With Charolette, she is a nerd in every way. She brings up a lot of celebs, here and there. Good on that. Them bickering and hating each other, I seen that a lot, but I still like that trope. What year are they in? Keep in mind that I have been homeschooled and don't know how public system works. But, why are they both in the same grade when James/Theo can't do something basic as pre-algebra? Don't you learn that in 6th grade? Also I was so confused that they called him James, until everything explained in chapter three. Maybe in your summery, put on of his names he uses in parentheses. What is Charolettes last name though? It keeps changing. Thompson, Timson, Tamson. Now let's talk about the best friend plot. How could Charolette not know that she is good friends with Theo/James? It's seems Theo is a big part of her life. I find that weird. But I guess that might be explained in other later chapters. But it's a good source of conflict other than them being petty towards each other.

Conclusion: Overall not a bad read. There could be a few adjustments in the grammar and summery. I read a few confusing sentences. It may not be confusing to you since you are the author, but if it sounds an even little confusing, it will be confusing to the reader. Also write down different ways to write the sentence to see which one is the most clear. But the plot is decent. Used a lot, yes. But only you can make it unique. Keep up the good work!
