The second runner up is

The Physics of Love by @sarahsmith11.

Creativity and Originality (8/10)

While the theme of high school romance has been explored extensively, the author brings a fresh and unique perspective to it. I appreciate how the author emphasized the less glamorous aspects of high school instead of solely focusing on the positive elements, which is a departure from the usual narrative found in many books.

Plot (10/10)

The storyline is engaging, maintaining the reader's interest and creating a desire to follow the narrative further. Additionally, in the initial four chapters I've read, there are no apparent gaps or inconsistencies in the plot.

Characters (9/10)

I find the main character appealing; she exudes a level of maturity beyond her years. However, it's evident that she's striving to conform to a certain stereotype, perhaps unintentionally. While I personally found her behavior irritating and exhausting, I believe the author effectively depicted the tendency for some teenagers to overexert themselves in fitting certain molds.

The author's writing style is quite pleasant. It effortlessly conveys information, and before you know it, you've completed a chapter without any difficulty in comprehension.

Grammar (5/5)

There were no issues; everything was flawless.

Numerous books explore similar relationships, and from my initial reading, this one doesn't deviate significantly from that pattern. Nevertheless, I anticipate that the main character will leave a lasting impression on readers, making the book memorable for an extended period.

Enjoyment (4/5)

The book is quite enjoyable, and I genuinely liked it. It was a fun read, evoking memories of my high school years. However, I couldn't completely empathize with the character, possibly because the issues portrayed were not prevalent during my own teenage years.

Genre (5/5)

This book aligns perfectly with its genre, possessing all the elements necessary to make it an ideal romance novel.

Overall score - 55/60

The third runner up is

Porcelain Behind Glass by bluemountain27

Creativity and Originality (10/10)

I enjoyed the concept of the book as it presents university life in a different perspective. It undoubtedly adds a fresh and unique vibe to this genre.

Plot (9/10)

The storyline was quite engaging, keeping the reader captivated and eager to uncover more details about both the narrative and the characters. It effectively maintains a sense of suspense throughout, and in the initial four chapters I've perused, I found no plot holes. However, there were moments where certain aspects of the plot appeared somewhat implausible.

Characters (6/10)

The main character is likable, but her emotions are scarcely revealed throughout the narrative. There are few instances where the author delves into the protagonist's feelings. Despite being portrayed as flawless, she comes across as excessively irritating. Nevertheless, I believe there is potential for improvement. I also enjoyed the other characters, as they complement the story well. However, introducing them gradually instead of all at once in the first chapter might have enhanced the overall narrative flow.

Writing style (6/10)

The writing style isn't bad, but there is certainly room for improvement. Some paragraphs lack coherence, but these issues can be easily addressed with more attention from the author in the future.

Grammar (4/5)

While there are some grammatical errors, they don't necessarily disrupt the reading experience.

Memorability (2.5/5)

It's an enjoyable story that can linger in your thoughts for a while, but in the long run, it has the potential to be easily forgotten.

Despite everything, I appreciate the story for its rich content. It manages to stay engaging without becoming tedious, and the chapter lengths, though some might be slightly short, are not a significant concern.

Genre (5/5)

The prologue and the book's premises are excellent, holding significant potential that makes me feel somewhat regretful for the low marks.

The paragraphs varied between being excessively long or too short, lacking a consistent length.
