Title: MY BEST PARTNER
Genre: Young Adult
Score: 69.5/100
Comments: This book was almost like your other book, except, it consists of more grammar and spelling, as well as punctuation errors. Beautiful cover and a beautiful title indeed. Krish and Janhvi's story was nice. Janhvi's characteristics were something I never thought would be as it was. Then again, Tris did mention that his parent was almost like cat and dog. The dialogue was still messy but it was still easy to understand. This book works a bit slowly. I couldn't see a development in Janhvi's and Krish's relationship yet, by the end of chapter 5. There's not much going on for me to take in either. In terms of plot and individual characters. It's a bummer, but I'm sure it would interest me just as much as the other book did. I do enjoy it while I was reading it. It was an entertaining read.

Title: At Five
Genre: Young Adult
Score: 74/100
Comments: The cover needs a bit of an adjustment, it went too far up, but I believe that is not hard to do. The blurb does give us a general idea of what to expect. I appreciate this author went with the theme of mental health as it is nowadays finally recognized as something that needs to be talked about. Mãe also mentions therapists and wanting to heal which is a sign the author understands what they are writing about (coming from a mentally ill person). The book is just at its beginning and needs editing and adjustments, but I would say it's a good start. Characters are neat, maybe not very original, but have personalities. Suggestion, the introduction of the characters needs to be worked on. We can jump right into the action, but it would be good if we got at least a few sentences at the beginning setting up the atmosphere (can go right after beginning dialogue) and setting up characters. The pace can also be a bit unclear, but I think rereading it will help. These things are also needed in the middle part to set scenes better. These issues are fixable tho. Overall, good start.

Title: Let Go || Jeon Jungkook × Reader
Genre: Young Adult
Score: 77.5/100
Comments: Unlike most books which usually choose between first person's point of view or third person's point of view, this book chose a different approach that kind of left me weirded out at first.The fact that the author chose to use "you" instead of "I" or "she/he/they" for the Y/N character almost made me put down the book. I'm glad I didn't put it down and just kept reading instead because the book piqued my interest after some time. It gives you moments to question the book. As a reader, I couldn't help but want answers from it. And the author did a good job hiding the light from the readers to keep their interest. I would say that in the beginning, some of the dialogue or descriptions sounded off. There are spelling errors and grammatical errors too. But at some point, I started turning my eyes off it because the book pulls me to read it genuinely with interest. It was really interesting, the more I read it.

Title: You, Me
Genre: Young Adult
Score: 80/100
Comments: While this book does fit the young adult genre, I would recommend almost always rather putting it in the romance category since romance is the main theme here. I'm saying this because it was harder judging it since I'm not a romance fan (I only really read it as a subplot). Nonetheless, this was a cute read. While a bit typical and nothing I haven't seen before, the smooth writing style and small awkward situations made it enjoyable. Still, I can't give many points for originality. I also like the character of Maribelle as she reminds me of some of the sweet but super shy girls I know. The main character Ben is at this point a bit lacking, so I hope he develops over time, he is the main character after all. The plot is simple, but neat for a romance story. I would maybe expand the plot besides the main couple, but it still works this way (for this award I only read 5 chapters so I can't judge if this was done later). But the thing I liked the most is the simple but rich writing style that makes the story flow nicely.

Title: Journey to Tomorrow
Genre: Young Adult
Score: 82/100
Comments: This book is young adult, but first and foremost dystopian. The worldbuilding has dystopian elements, but they are done in a way to be specific to the book. Descriptions are very detailed, maybe at times even too detailed, but not when we are talking gore because the author really can make you picture this imagery. Even though it has a good pace, sometimes it goes too slow. From the cast of the characters, the main character Maggie seems decently developed while the other ones do have some defining traits but can be explored more (probably will since this book is ongoing). Maybe not going to be my first pick for reading since I'm not a big fan of dystopian (I can still read it, especially if it's mixed with other genres), but definitely a decent read.

Title: Near Touch
Genre: Young Adult
Score: 83/100
Comments: This is the author's first book? Wow, what a great start! Anyway, while the title doesn't really tell us much, I think the blurb perfectly explains what to expect. This book looks very edited to me which is nice to see. Now, about the plot, while not the most original idea ever, it is an enjoyable one with good execution. However, I still can't give all the points for the creativity section. Characters could be a bit more defined, but I do believe they get to be as the story progresses. For now, Amy is the best and keeps her character clear the most. I also like how the writing style and choice of words actually sound like something from a young adult novel (which is a general problem in this genre usually). Thankfully, this author succeeded. The story also has a good hook, and it does make me want to read more.

Title: Mom Genes *Corkscrew Collection Book 1*
Genre: Young Adult
Score: 85/100
Comments: To be honest, the book wasn't at all what I expected. The title and the cover doesn't exactly explain it to me. But opening it, readers were taken directly into action. Not clearly straight-to-the-point kind of action, but more like, the protagonist pulling us to shadow them all of a sudden. In the beginning, I couldn't exactly relate much to the protagonist, because I can understand her mother's struggle and persuasion. Marriage and family building was the main goal in her mum's eyes. This book had what I would call, perfection in dialogue. The dialogue and the descriptions throughout the book were written perfectly. I was terribly amazed by it. I couldn't see much plot or character development yet, but I'm sure if I read further, I would soon see it. This book is flawless in terms of grammar and spelling. I couldn't spot any mistakes. The writing style was great. I enjoyed reading it very much. Would be continuing it again later.

Title: Travistine
Genre: Young Adult
Score: 87/100
Comments: I need more information in the blurb. A blurb is supposed to catch a reader's attention. Although your cover did (it is beautiful and horrifying at the same time), you need to write a few more words about the protagonist. This is a very sad story indeed. I almost felt like I was reading poetry from the beginning due to the rhythm and rhyme schemes. There are barely any mistakes that I could catch, good job on that.

Title: Darling Birdie
Genre: Young Adult
Score: 87/100
Comments: I think using a better font would really help with the cover. I couldn't really read the quotes you have on there. A lot of listing has been used in the second paragraph of the blurb. This is pretty cool because I was able to read a collective of different factors which prolonged my interest. When I saw the first chapter, I was like damn. A little history about me: I have been reading Wattpad for a very long time with my original account. One thing I have noticed in the comment section is people saying "I didn't read that, can someone summarise it." You know why? Because of how long the paragraphs are. Doing that makes your readers bored, which is something we don't want. So my advice is to try and keep your paragraphs short, however, that is up to you. For instance, in the part where you stated, "Am I being sarcastic?" That sentence could be on its own. Therefore creating its own tone and evolving a sense of feeling from your readers. I think your story has great potential. I love the way you describe everything, but if you could take up my advice, it would possibly make it even better.

Genre: Young Adult
Score: 95.5/100
Comments: I love your blurb. The way you portrayed both their perspectives after the "spicy," part allowed me to instantly be invested in the story. Like, I had to know what was going to happen. I know there are already other texts involving the "Romeo and Juliet," concept. However, your one is different (the good kind). You have made it into your own little creation. A very wonderful hook with your first paragraph. But why did you constantly highlight words? Usually, authors do that to emphasise or foreshadow. Nevertheless, I liked the writing. Very good job.

Title: LABYRINTH

Score: 97.5/100
Comments: The blurb gave me chills. Although you didn't directly explain that the girl has been rejected by her fiance, I felt the pain she was feeling. Your wording, writing style and everything are fantastic. Instantly, I wanted to press start reading to know what was going to happen. Beautiful cover. It goes perfectly with the description of your blurb. Especially with the butterfly and everything. The aspects and elements used show how pure and innocent the girl will be. Good job. The opening chapter is outstanding. I could barely find any mistakes. Although I couldn't seem to understand what was happening, I was eager to read on.
