Cover: 3/5
The cover page of "Dil hi toh hai" features a captivating image of hands of a married couple perfectly encapsulating the essence of the story love after marriage. But , the title and the author's name is not clearly visible on the cover image and the font does not suit the theme, so there is potential for even greater depth and nuance to enhance the overall impact.

Title: 4/5
The title "Dil hi toh hai" hints at the complex emotions in the heart that is love.

Blurb: 3/5
The blurb creates intrigue and sets up the reader's expectations for an emotional rollercoaster. It sets up an intriguing contrast between the two main characters, Arjun Srivastav and Pallavi Krishnan. Arjun is portrayed as a ruthless businessman with a soft spot for his family, while Pallavi is depicted as a kind-hearted girl who finds solace in dance after losing her parents.
However, it could be improved by providing more specific details about the plot or setting to give readers a clearer idea of what to expect. Adding a hint of the central conflict or dilemma the characters will face could also enhance the intrigue. Additionally, polishing the language for smoother flow and clarity could make it even more compelling.

The characters are well-developed and relatable, each with their unique traits and personalities. Pallavi's struggles and aspirations are portrayed convincingly, and the dynamics between her and other characters, particularly her brother Prashant and Arjun's family provides us with the understanding that she is an empath.
On the other hand, Arjun is shown as ruthless mafia, who scares every other person, is good to good people but due to some trauma has become cold hearted.
Overall, the character development could be seen in both Pallavi and Arjun well after their marriage. All the other side characters each have depth to their characters and are explored beautifully.

The plot unfolds smoothly, drawing readers into Pallavi's world from the very beginning. The friendships, and the complexities in her life.

Grammar & Vocabulary: 2.5/5
Overall, the grammar and vocabulary are okayish and understandable maintaining clarity throughout the narrative. But, there are also many instances of awkward phrasing, misspellings and sometimes punctuation errors, and they do detract many readers significantly from the readability of the story.
I would suggest using a spell check tool to modify these errors and proofreading the chapters before publishing.
