⚜️Title: 4/5
The title "Hate You" is evocative and intriguing, suggesting intense emotional conflict. However, it might be a bit misleading if the central focus is more on addiction and heartbreak rather than outright hatred.

⚜️Cover: 1/5
No Cover is present except for a plain blue background with the title mentioned in it. I would suggest the author to add a suitable cover for the book so as to attract readers.

⚜️Blurb: 3.5/5
The blurb effectively introduces the protagonist, Saeroyi Park, and hints at her struggles with addiction and personal issues. It does a decent job of setting up the stakes and themes. However, it could be clearer about how it connects to the original story "Next To You" and how the other characters fit into the narrative. Additionally, provide a brief outline of how the plot will unfold or how the different themes will intersect. This will help readers understand the story's structure and main conflicts.

⚜️Plot: 8/10
The plot of the book is a gripping narrative of Sae's life. Saeroyi Park is a girl who grapples with intense personal struggles. Her burdening home life, characterized by an abusive mother and a strained family dynamic, sets the stage for her quest for escapism.
Her experiences at the party, particularly the confrontation with her boyfriend, Zeno, and the subsequent emotional breakdown, created a powerful scene in just the opening chapter of the book. This could intrigue the readers to delve more into Saeroyi's lives and know about her.
The initial chapters successfully establish a foundation of conflict and emotional tension, engaging the readers with its raw depictions of the characters.

⚜️Character Development: 7/10
Sae is portrayed with depth, reflecting both vulnerability and resilience. Her sad and strained relationship with her mother and the emotional pain caused by her boyfriend provide a clear picture of her internal struggles.
On the other hand Duane, Sae’s friend, emerges as a supportive figure, though his character is somewhat one-dimensional. While the portrayal of Zeno adds a layer of complexity, illustrating the fallout from another strained relationship.
Raedon and Kayli are the characters who tend to contribute a lot to the storyline but their development is minimal, they could have been enhanced more in depth.
Overall, the characters are really engaging, but I feel with the presence of so many characters, the author isn't able to give justice to each of them, I would love if you could try to add more depth and nuance to the characters as it would enhance their complexity and relatability.

⚜️Grammar and Vocabulary: 4/5
The grammar and vocabulary are generally sound, but there are a few areas where clarity could be improved. Ensure consistent punctuation and clarity in complex sentences. For instance, the phrase in the blurb itself, "Read along as she learns how to conquer her addiction and heartbreak while trying to maintain a college student life!" could be streamlined to "Follow her journey as she battles addiction and heartbreak while navigating college life."
While the chapters exhibit a generally strong grasp of grammar and vocabulary. But yes, there are occasional inconsistencies which could be corrected. The dialogues effectively capture the natural flow of conversation which I find lacking in many books.
So, great job with that dear author ✨❤

⚜️Enjoyment: 4/5
The chapters are compelling and emotionally charged, drawing readers into Saeroyi’s world with its candid portrayal of her struggles and moments of escape. The raw, unfiltered presentation of Sae’s emotions and conflicts adds to the chapter’s impact, making it an engaging read for those interested in character-driven narratives and psychological drama.

⚜️Overall: 3.5/5
Overall, "Hate You" is a book where there is an emgaging plot, relatable characters, emotional dramatics, strained relationships, complex emotions and an intriguing as well as evocative narrative, which will surely attract readers who love to read emotional journeys.
While some aspects of grammar and character development could be refined, and a beautiful cover could be added, the chapters otherwise offer a compelling story.

⚜️Total Marks: 35/50 ✨❤
