Unrequited Beginnings by lanadelreygirlie

Title: 5/5

The title is everything! Nice, attractive, and perfectly fits the plot. You must have put a lot of thought into it.

Cover: 4/5

The cover spoke everything about Maya's loneliness. Seeing a lady walking a lonely part in what seemed like an empty garden, it made a lot of sense to me.

Blurb: 3.5/5

The blurb is nice, it tells a lot about the book and not too much that we can immediately tell where it is heading. However, I think the blurb needed a paragraph at least. Having paragraphs in a write-up makes it easier to read.

Plot and Plot Development: 18/20

The plot is a really nice idea and I believe it was well developed. Starting from how Rohan and Maya met, Maya's feelings to how it eventually developed into hate.

Aside from that, each chapter felt like a repetition. Yes, Maya had come to hare Rohan, and yes, time was passing but it lacked content. You just kept telling us how much she hated him, how about helping us see it as well. I would've loved to see the things he does and hate him with her.

Besides being cold to her in the beginning, the following chapters were just Maya saying how much she hated him as well as the passing of time. It was less scenes and more of Maya's complaints.

Character Development: 13/20.

Your development of Maya was just fine, I could tell quite some things about her but as I mentioned above, help us see Rohan as well. Do we like him? Do we hate him? I couldn't even decide.

All I kept seeing was a boy hated by Maya just because of one scene where he was cold to her, and another where he annoyed a friend of hers. Why not show us that there is more to him, rather than telling us.

Grammar: 8/10

Use of grammar was great! Nice use of words, punctuation and all. However, I noted a few corrections in your book as per your request.

Flow and Continuity: 4/5

The book was consistent, no diversions so far.

Style: 4/5

I think your style of writing is fine. You have a knack for blending words and work well with descriptions which is a very hard thing for most writers. It made it easy to visualize the scenes and all.

However, try to minimize the use of some words. Amidst, whirlwind, chaos, and more, they seem overused in majorly the five chapters I reviewed.

Originality: 14/15

The plot is very original. Yes, there are lots of hate-to-love books out there but very few contain love-to-hate [and probably back to love. I'm not sure where the plot is heading].

Good job.

Overall Impact: 8/10

Overall, you did a good job with the book, just a few fixes and it's amazing. You've got a good story going there, well done.

In total, your book review amounts to 81.5/100.
