Hope it helps 😄

Cover: 2/5

The cover doesn't really speak for your book, it's just this huge head and some text all over it. And the text itself isn't very appealing, the font is kind of dull.

Title: 3.5/5

The title is very intriguing and can easily attract one's interest. Although it doesn't represent your book all that well, at least till where I read it.

Blurb: 4/5

The blurb is well written, it introduces both the characters and the plot in a satisfactory manner. However, in the last paragraph, it is pretty evident that you were trying too hard to include the word ribbon in it, it makes sense, given your title but I think it could've been written better without any ribbon mentions. 

Writing style: 8.5/10

I loved the writing style! You did a great job writing in first person pov, and it's nice that you shifted between different characters' pov, I think it makes the story much more interesting to read. However, in the first few chapters, there was an overuse of the word "try-hard", and it made it less enjoyable to read. Apart from that, I do believe that the introduction of the characters, specifically Anya and Ivan were a little hasty. You had one big paragraph listing out all their character traits, rather than showing them through their actions.

Grammar: 9/10

The grammar was nice, for the most part, there weren't any mistakes, however, I did notice a few errors, you missed punctuations, wrote the wrong spellings in a few places. 

Plot: 7/10

There's nothing bad I can say about the plot besides the fact that I found it quite boring. Apart from that, I think the plot is very slowly moving, I can understand using the first few chapters for the character introductions, but in your story, the actual plot comes in very late.

Flow: 10/10

Although your book has a slowly developing plot, at least you are consistent with it. All chapters have similar lengths and equal amounts of information revealed.

Genre relevance: 9/10

The genre relevance is on point. The book claims to be romance, crime and young adult, and I can check all three boxes. However, I do think you should try sticking to one genre, in almost every book (in and outside Wattpad) every genre has some amount of romance in it, and there's no need to add that in as a genre since that isn't the main focus of the story. 

Originality: 5/10

Crime novels are everywhere, to write one that stands out you need an idea that no one else has had, unfortunately, your book lacks that. It's a typical story about the mafia, big companies, and a guy falling in love with a girl. I think I've read so many books with the same thing.

Personal enjoyment: 4/10

I personally found the book quite boring to read, even though you have a good writing style and grammar, I think the main thing that bothers me is the plot. It's a very generic plot and no aspect of your book stands out. 

Total: 62/85
