➵ First impression : Loved the book.

➵ Cover : I totally loved the cover! Definitely suits the story! Cheers to the GD, :P.

➵ Title : Perfect for the story. Even though there are some more books with the same title, yours suits the plot so no need of any change.

➵ Blurb : I see what you did in beginning lines, *smirks*. "He hated love, she loved him", doesn't look cliché at all! A great job with the starting lines. Usually it's like " He hated 'her', she loved him", but this is totally different! The starting five lines (actually ten) described them both very well! The blurb needs no editing except for the grammatical mistakes. The blurb grabbed my attention quickly.

➵ Flow & pace : It was good in the beginning, but in the middle chapters the story felt like dragging unusually, which made me lose my interest from it. And then the climax felt rushed because of it, the book lacked proper descriptions. I didn't feel the 'love', Avinash started feeling for Priya. You can even combine two short chapters into one to not make the book get more lengthy.

➵ Plot of the book : It wasn't a total cliché, nor it was fully adapted from an old Bollywood movie. Though at the climax I felt it like YJHD. Priya loved him from the beginning days only, Avinash was little 'more' close to Naisha, Naisha started liking Avi. I feel the ending can be more proper with Naisha's point of view.

➵ Grammar : The book needs major editing. As you have changed the character's names, editing is more important. In some chapters, commas weren't present or at wrong places. Full stops unusually broke the dialogues in the between. A new reader will possibly get confused when they'll read 'Anurag, Prerna & Nandini' in a few chapters. So I would suggest you to go for an editing shop on Wattpad. The book lacked in descriptions in several chapters, the characters weren't noticing their surroundings. Descriptions were rushed.

➵ Character development : Starting with the childhood, Avi had some liking for Naisha, didn't he? As didn't even bade a bye to Priya. Or whatever reasons he had. Priya, her first scene felt like a typical girl who is dreamy and loves to talk to non-living things - plants. But the development she had, is noteworthy, sometimes I felt her like childish but in the next moment she becomes the mature Priya. Naisha, even though she's not a protagonist, I felt like she is important cause she's the one who gave a push to Avinash's feelings and the story progressed. In the starting chapters she felt like a possesive best friend for Avinash, and at the end she became happy for Priya and Avinash, she definitely had a good character development. Each and every character had flaws and I just loved the book for that! I just wanted a small Point of view of Naisha and the book would've ended perfectly.

➵ Overall impression : FLAWS. 🤑 I loved the characters for their flaws, it was the best part. Their flaws were even affecting the plot, and that's like an achievement.
