Fabricate
Hey, there RoseAndBone! Thank you for waiting so patiently for your Merlot. It is now ready for you to enjoy.
So let's get started!
First impressions
Your cover is simple but eye-catching, though maybe you can shrink the size a little bit so it wouldn't be too close to the edge of the border. Also, the light and the background color are bland together, so at first glance, I was confused as to why you have a cover depicting a girl looking up at a line in the ceiling. Try to see if you can tweak the colors and contrast a bit so the two can be separated.
There are some grammatical errors in your summary, but overall it gives readers some ideas of what your story is about. Some of the sentences could be rewritten so the whole thing would flow smoother, so that's something to think about should you ever wish to rewrite it.
Overall look on your story
Having been in a coma for an unspecified amount of time, Mia Sereno wakes up with the belief that she has been raped by a doctor in the hospital she's in. With no witness or evidence to support her claim, she is deemed mentally unstable and sent to Trenton-Rose Psychiatric facilities for treatment. Yet, not all is what it seems.
You previously mentioned that you are aware of the lack of descriptions in your story so we won't go into that.
If I'm just commenting on individual chapters, then from the dialogue and Mia's POV, there is enough intrigue and mystery surrounding the question of what really happened to Mia. However, if I'm commenting on all three chapter together, then some issues need to be addressed.
First of all, there is no indication of time or date in the story. The transition between chapters is messy due to the constant jumping between the past and the present, making the flow quite choppy. Keep in mind that if you are going to have two timelines, you need to give readers time to process what is happening. In short, do it in a way that makes sense. For example, maybe consider using chapter one as your prologue to set the stage for your story, then develop the present storyline with the conversation between Mia and Dr. Hugh. Once that's established, then you can delve into Mia's past through flashbacks. Of course, this is just my opinion. How you'd like to present it is entirely up to you.
The dialogue between the characters feels stiff and awkward like they are reading from a script or something. It doesn't feel natural, which makes it hard to engage in your story. This may have to do with your lack of description on the characters and their personalities, so it's something to take into consideration when you edit your story.
Grammar
Overall, I don't see any issues with your grammar. There are a couple of fragments here and there, and while I'm not sure why you insist of writing out the word 'doctor' instead of using the abbreviation, there aren't any serious problems. You have a lot of simple sentences, which isn't a bad thing. However, some of them can be combined or rewritten into complex sentences to make your story read better.
To wrap things up
You have some exciting ideas, and with a good edit, this story could turn out to be a fascinating read. If you haven't done so already, I suggest you do some research on how a psychiatric facility functions, which would go a long way in writing out descriptions for your setting. Also, speaking with mental health professionals and patients could give you better insight on character development.
Good luck with your writing!
