Let's get into it!

☁first impressions (22/25): The aesthetics are strong in this one! The description is super cute; short and to the point, and since I'm not judging plot yet, I don't know if it's really cliche or not! The title is good, but there are actually a lot of BTS books with that same name, so readers can't find your book easily. Lastly, the cover is aesthetic and I love the color scheme. However, the grey with the collage pictures also being grey/white, for some reason, makes the book a little less appealing... I would suggest a pop of color in the pictures or background!

☁grammar & sentence structure (12/15): there are only a few grammar mistakes, so the text was very easy to read! However, there are some things I'd like to point out. For example, punctuation goes inside the quotations, not outside. A lot of the sentences are simplistic, so I would say vary your sentence structures by putting them together or re-ordering prepositional phrases to make the text breathe!

☁plot (20/30): it is cliche, but I love how cutely you wrote it with all the little diary entries in it, and honestly, I've never seen something like that before! I also like the idea of this specialty school that idols go to; it's actually pretty grounded in reality, as a lot of idols come out of schools that only focus on fine arts like that. However, like you said yourself in your description, you do know it's cliche, and meant it to be. I've seen a lot of the talent show trope already, and I feel like you could put something more unique into the plot, like a cool subplot or something! It would really make the story breathe a little more.

☁characters (13/20): the characters are all really cute! I liked their bonds with each other, and also liked how we saw their friendships progress throughout the course of the book. Hoseok and Jungkook are SO. FREAKING. CUTE. However, I feel like they could use more depth for me to relate to them fully. They were so close to being fully there for me, but they would either not talk enough or there wouldn't be enough description to back that up. Adding more description and dialogue will really help with this! The chapters are pretty short, so I feel like you can add more without risking the integrity of the story.

☁writing style (17/20): the writing style works very well with this story. First of all, the first person narrative is a perfect fit for a journalistic book such as this, so great call on that! Also, I can tell through the narrative that he's a bit shy, and observes more than talks. It's really great! However, as I will get into with more detail later, I would like to see some more detail to really flesh out everything!

☁flow (8/10): I really liked the short and sweet chapters, with basically each scene being a chapter. the only thing I noticed was that the bolded quotes break the flow of the story slightly. I would also suggest adding more description to the text to make it not feel like we're jumping from scene to scene, and making the transitions within each chapter smoother with adding more description, as well. I had a lot of trouble with this in Euphoria, and I notice a lot of other authors I've talked to struggle with transitions as well. Once I fixed it, though, the text just became much easier to read!

☁total score: 92/120 or 76.6%!

Awesome sauce!

☁optional advice nook: I suggest putting a pop of color in the cover to make it stand out to readers, as well as adding a word or two in the title to make it more unique, or even changing it! A copy edit of your text will be great, and look for places where you can put description, dialogue, and a change in sentence structure! I also think you can put a few subplots in there (this will require a great deal more than a simple copy edit, obviously), but like I said before, you meant this to be a cliche yet cute plot so you don't have to take this advice at all! Other than that, everything is super great!

☁song nook: I thought of a few songs while I read this story!

Let me know what you think!

☁summary: Please don't be discouraged by your score. This book was so cute! I know I gave you way more advice than praise during the review, but I really did like this book. The plot was straightforward, the characters were cute, and the format was well put-together. I think if you take the advice I give you, this could be the perfect book for both the casual reader AND the more serious reader. I can't wait to see what you come out with next!

Aaaand... that's it for the review! If there's anything I missed or anything you guys would like to add, let me know. So far, the review rate hasn't slowed down, but like I said before, be patient with me guys... I have a lot on my plate this week so I might not be reading as much as I want to be. I'm sorry about that!
