Please note that there is a tie between two books as they both have 29/30 and one wins Silver and the other Bronze. Please note the backup judges scores for these books - one should have moved up, whilst the other should have moved down. Hope that explains any confusion!

GOLD WINNER

Cake Face by that_guitar_girl - 30/30

I love the cover for this book. It's so simple yet eye catching. The SPAG for this book is accurate and I love the story line. The plot is VERY VERY VERY intriguing and different. I adore how it's in a mean girls pov which is unique.

The plot is great and gets me riled up wanting to yell at Melanie and then hug her at other times. Being honest, you got full marks. I don't know what to fault. I'm sitting here struggling what to write, XD. All I can say is that I'll definitely be reading the rest of your upcoming updates and voting afterwards. Very tempting to not comment. Keep it up!

Does the backup judge agree with this score : NO, should have scored 29/30

The cover is finally on point and the description is great, it generally convinced the reader to read the said book. The writing is really good, i liked the style. Just be consistent with the tenses used. The plot is great, something we don't get to read often. It offers something new and refreshing. Great job!

SILVER WINNER

Fragile Bird by westernstargazer - 29/30

I don't know where to start! I loved this book. It was very interesting and had a great plot line. I love how Valley's character builds up as the story continues and is very unique. It's great as it leaves the reader guessing and her actions more unpredictable. The cover for this book is very cute. I really like the fonts so you can say thanks to the person who made it! Just the one thing is that the necklace is covered up but you can't really find a perfect image so I understand. Also if a necklace is actually used in the story but if so later on, it's nice.

I also like the books name as it's like a metaphor about Valley. From what I've read, the SPAG is accurate. The plots awesome and flows nicely. It's different to what I read. I love how this book isn't cliche and the way you portray Valley in the party scene. Most characters go either because they like to party or because they were forced by friends, none which Valley was influenced by.

I adore this book and was tempted to not comment or finish it as I had other books to read. I'll definitely go back and vote once the competition is done as I don't want to seem biased! I'm going to recommend this to all my friends for sure as I really enjoyed it. Keep it up!

Aside from the good title and cover, I gave plus points to the author's effort in incorporating images each chapter. The writing style is great. I appreciate how the main character was developed walking us through. And the plot is just wonderful, something very refreshing and would want to make you read more.

BRONZE WINNER

Cici and the 5 Steps For Getting Over An Obsession by minute_moon - 29/30

This book was really fun to read and relatable. I love how things don't go your way showing how true life works. The plot line is great and I love Cici's character. It's not at all cliché and is different. The SPAG is accurate, nothing I can point out. I adore your cover, lets you know the character is in school however the cropping of the girl isn't the best. Apart from that, I love it!

This is one of the books I'll definitely continue reading and vote for as it's very intriguing. I would love to see the ending of the book. I can't find anything you can improve, it all flows well and has your emotions on a ride. Definitely telling my friends to read this!

Does the backup judge agree with this score : NO, should have scored 28/30

The cover is better, and the description is good, just what a reader needs to know about the book. The writing is also good, I believe one still can get better with crafts. And the plot is interesting! Although it's not unique, it still has this appeal to the readers to give a chance and hopefully won't regret.

OTHER ENTRIES

The Marvels of Prairie Creek by prairiecreek : 26/30 (original) / 27/30 (modified)

This book was rather different to normal chick lit book which is a good thing! It scored 10/10 on plot as it was very unique. I like how your characters Val were mute since traits like this in books aren't common. The fact that two of your characters had the same nickname slightly confused me but I eventually understood. It says their brothers and cousins which got me really baffled but I assume this is explained later on in the story.

I like your cover and how you used pictures of your family in it which gave it a personal vibe. One way to improve it though is a different font for the title as it doesn't draw me in. Apart from that, the covers great. Your title doesn't really suggest it's a chick lit book but more of an adventure/mystery type but as you're the author, I'm sure you know the relevance to the story. Another suggestion is having your blurb/description in the actual book. It confirms things like both Vals are mute. I forgot to read it and was one second thinking one could talk while the next minute thinking they both couldn't until I read the description. 

I like how some of the story is based on your family and their names. The quality of the writing is spot on with great SPAG. I know you told us in advance but maybe try to keep the chapters shorter but I went through the book and the chapters(on my iPad) were 30+ pages each. If some chapters are short and others are long, it will have a bigger impact on the reader and make them want more. All in all I liked it.

Does the backup judge agree with this score : NO, should have scored 28/30

The cover is fantastic, it gives off this idea that the characters are real. The description did a good job in laying out in surface what we're supposed to read, but not giving much away. The writing style is so good, I felt like I was actually reading a real novel. The narratives and descriptions are just on point. Just be careful with writing with too long chapters, make sure the readers are hooked all through out so they don't miss a thing. The plot is great, we just hope to see a little bit of excitement along the way.

Mr What's His Name by ruthxanadu - 24/30

The title for this book really matches the main characters personality. It shows she's very sassy however I don't see the relevance of it to the story. It might pop up later on in the story but maybe mention it earlier. The cover is nice but not what I call 'aesthetic'. Maybe change the fonts, chick lit books tend to have feminine (not to be sexist) fonts as that is what the chick lit genre target for, woman. The subtitle is blue which I feel it like should be white, the same colour as the title. This is your preference but maybe have your name smaller as it slightly overpowers the main title. (sorry for expanding on this part but I make graphics so I'm an aesthetic wannabe). 

The quality of the writing is great, SPAG is accurate(apart from chapter 1 where you say 'ALOT' instead of 'A LOT'). It flows nicely but maybe keep the story pace slower. I feel like when the Lucy meets James, it's all a bit rushed. I like Lucy's character but it's rather cliché and common. Try and find something unique to it, like a hobby. I'd personally recommend this story to people who like clichés.

Does the backup judge agree with this score : YES

I like the blurb which is catchy as well the title itself. The plot is generally good, there's a rising story each chapter. Writing just needs to be improved a little, developing characters can be helpful.

Prophet of Love by midnightsdarling - 26/30 (original) /  24/30 (modified)

I really loved reading the first few chapters of this book. It had a very unique plot line and flowed very well. Maybe go over the grammar, nothing major since the book is still readable(eg in chapter 3 there is a random speech mark). I really like your main character Eve but maybe somehow have her name mentioned more. It was mentioned a few chapters later and it seemed really foreign as I wasn't used to knowing that was her name. One thing that confused me was the character Jude. I assume Judah is one of her nicknames but when writing, try avoiding switching from her real name to her nickname as it got to the point I thought they were different people.

To be frank, I'm not a fan of the cover. I at first thought it was an 18+ book which nearly put me of until I realised it was nowhere near that! Not the biggest fan of the font either, eventhough it's slanted giving it a feminine touch, it reminds me fonts people use in flashbacks or sarcasm. I like the title but the word 'prophet' makes me think of religion, plus the word prophet is used in religious context mainly if you search the word up. In the beginning where you introduce Eve's disease, maybe explain it slightly more as I had to search it up to fully understand. It has rather medical vocab but I appreciate and like your effort. Overall, I enjoyed this book and will actually continue reading it!

Does the backup judge agree with this score : NO, should have scored 21/30

Somehow I came up with this score when I summed it up. I got the necessity of the cover but still not much into the title. The description needs to be improved a little to be able to entice readers. As for the writing, it needs editing in some parts, be careful with the tenses and make sure it is apt to the timeline. The plot was still not clear to me even if I had already read further.

The Girl on the 16th Floor by rosebindings - 27/30 (original) / 25/30 (modified)

I really liked the cover for this book. Probably the best cover from all the books I've judged so far(text slap never goes wrong). Maybe though you can request to the person who made it to make your name bigger since it's not visible and blurry. I like the story as it is one of the few books that made me smile here and there, however, Emmets character seems cliche. Give a talent or hobby to make his character interesting. It's nice that you wrote the book in a guys pov but honestly, it felt like a girl.

Not being sexist and saying make him more 'manly' but as I said before, his character is cliche and when I say cliche, as in a cliche girl. You as the author are in control of him but develop his character as you write it. The SPAG is great, nothing I can fault but maybe make the chapters longer. Set yourself a target eg 1500+ words per chapter. That way the story will flow quicker and build up more and it won't be those 100+ chapters plus book. Overall I liked this book and would recommend it to someone who likes a rom com and cliche.

Does the backup judge agree with this score : NO, should have scored 22/30

The cover is good as well as the title, as it catches your attention. The writing needs to be improved a little though. Be consistent with the tenses used and mindful of the paragraph spacing. And the plot is okay with me, it's not boring, but it also lacks the element of hooking the readers right away during the first few chapters.

Travelling Heart Syndrome by tifftheawesome - 25/30 (original) / 24/30 (modified)

I really like your book cover but honestly, I don't think it's 'the one' book cover(that sounded funny). It's nice but I don't think the image fits the book eventhough it's nice. The story flows nicely however seems rather cliche. Try and develop Bailey's character more. Try and mention her name more since I had to go through the book now just to find out. 

The SPAG is good from what I've read but there are a few plotholes. Eg she mentions Landon's name even though he hasn't mention it(was a surprise when i first saw it) or how Landon knows her grandma. The one thing I don't like about the book is how its targets stereotypes. In the chapter when Bailey runs away, you say her grandma won't call the police since she's stuck in her 'British ways' therefore she wouldn't want it to spread as it's dirty news. 

Most people on Wattpad are American but I as a Brit, got slightly offended. Every character has their own views but when you mention how your character thinks feminists can be 'extreme', I again got offended as a feminist. I won't give you a lecture as it's your own opinion but feminists protest for the rights of men AND women. They believe in equality for both genders. They aren't just fighting for themselves and think their rights will get taken away since their rights aren't getting fulfilled. You may want rephrase both bits as stereotypes are very sensitive. Overall, I liked this book but it needs a sort of interesting twist as you write it.

Cute cover and apt description. The narrative is great, just take care of the grammars. And the plot is awesome, it picks up each chapter which should be a good thing.
