Review: I feel guilty for giving you a lower score in Plot, but I did that because this book does not really read like Humor to me but Romance and Thriller. However, I gave you some leeway because even though the plot fits under the Thriller genre better, I still had a lot of fun with it and your creativity! The story was one of the perks. While it revolved around a cliché, you put a unique twist on it. I enjoyed reading about the culture, and I also enjoyed the little pep-talk messages you had at the beginning of each chapter. They almost read like an overview of what would happen in it without giving too much away.

I noticed a lack of setting, though; you can describe it better. I also saw a bit of head-hopping. I make this mistake, too, and am still learning about it, so don't feel terrible. It's okay to switch to a few other characters' heads; just be careful about doing it repeatedly in one paragraph. For example, you can write from Trisha's POV for one chapter or half a chapter and then switch to Parth's next chapter or paragraph. Make sure you indicate this through a page break or an ellipses. I also recommend for you to visit an editing shop. While I loved the plot, the grammar issues were a big no-no, and I can't be biased, even with your unique story. Once you clean it up a little and fix the head-hopping, I know it can go places. You need to take the time and improve it.

Review: First things first—this is a common issue with books written in 1st person point of view—it's not recommended to start the story with the main character saying, "My name is Jane, and I'm fifteen years old. I live with my mother, father, brother," etc. Aside from being cliché, it's also a form of telling and not showing. Don't tell people about the main character—let them figure them out themselves. Your job as a writer is to immerse readers in your story and characters so that they come out of it feeling something, whether big or small and "show vs. tell" is a considerable aspect behind this.

Another big thing I noticed is the switch between 1st and 3rd person-point-of-view. Stories are usually told in one POV, although I have seen in the prologue of some 1st person-point-of point-of-view books that authors write in 3rd person, and that works. I wonder if you can try something like that.

I was perplexed by how Sarah had a car if she had just started high school. Most high schoolers don't have a car in 9th grade. The car crash scene definitely works, but it may work better if you age Sarah to sixteen, and instead of having her start high school, she starts at a new one. That would help her character development, I believe, if you give her a few more flaws. While I thoroughly enjoyed your characters in this book, they can all use a few more flaws and a slightly more realistic dialogue between them. Most of the time, they did not sound like teenagers to me.

Review: Do you know how Romance has a sub-genre called Rom-Com? Well, after reading your story, I'm convinced there should be a sub-genre of Fantasy—Fantasy-Humor. You excel in the Fantasy genre, thanks to your clever take on world-building and attention to detail and lore—all necessary ingredients for this genre. From the very first line, you pull us into your world.
I saw very little info-dumping, which means you succeeded in the age-old rule of "showing vs. telling" in writing... most of the time. There were a few instances of minor info-dumping and telling us Akali's emotions rather than showing, but they're all easy, take-out-a-few-words fixes. 

If I do have some advice for you, it would be to go back and re-read your descriptions. While doing that, ask yourself, "Do I really need all this description, or can I take out just a few things?"
In terms of grammar, it was solid. There were only a few issues, such as the occasional wrong punctuation mark or capitalizing a pronoun when you didn't need to. Again, these are minor fixes, and they do not affect the overall enjoyment of the story, especially Akali's character development. That stole the show for me, in a good way, so kudos to you, author! Akali has a lot of potential, and I can't wait to see that potential as the story progresses!

I wish you luck as you continue this book and hope to see a full-fledged novel in the future!

Review: The main highlights of this book are your characters and use of dialogue. I can easily see the differences between them and understand their personalities because all of them are unique and beautiful in their own way. You also set up the inciting incident nicely. While it's not uncommon to see job dumps in literature, I like the approach you took to this cliché. It helped set up the plot, and by the second chapter, it was in full force.

Where you struggle is grammar, description, and setting. I can't review all the grammar mistakes, so I think you should find a beta reader or a shop on Wattpad to help fix it. Doing so will give the book a much cleaner look and allow your readers an easier time to get immersed in the story and characters.

You also need to work on describing the setting better. At the moment, I do not know where the book takes place and do not have a clear image in my head. Therefore, I recommend trying what I recommend to most authors who struggle in this field—consider the five senses. Think about the setting and describe it through taste, smell, touch, hear, and sight. Pictures are a good source of inspiration, too. Find a picture that you think fits the story and describe it in your own words. That will also help the setting unfold better.

All books have potential, and yours is no exception. The most important thing is that you take the time to improve your story. It doesn't matter how long it takes, but a little editing and revising is sometimes better than none. I can see this book being a great Rom-Com one day, and I'm eager to see what you'll do with it in the future.

Review: Wow! This is an amazing piece of literature that hits the Humor genre almost too well, as well as Teen Fiction. It's no accident that your characters are one of the highlights of the book, especially your protagonist, Emily. I like how you moved away from the bad boy reputation and flipped it to bad girl, instead. That's a clever take on the cliché. Despite Emily's awkwardness and behavior, she has a lot of heart in her, and I'm curious to figure out if she really did hate her stepdad or if her behavior is her way of grieving. There's so much build-up and mystery surrounding her, which makes her a great protagonist.

Now, while I know this was originally a screenplay and you condensed it into a novella, I gave you a little leeway on your lack of descriptions, but I still think you should add some for the school and Emily's home so we have a better idea of this world you've created. You don't need a lot of world-building in this genre, but it still doesn't hurt to put a little in the story. After all, with writing, you kidnap people from the real world and place them in your imaginary one.
I also felt that a few chapters lagged or were unnecessary, and you could've reached the inciting incident a little earlier. I did not see too much plot progression in the first five chapters which again, I gave you a little leeway, but I feel like you could have sped it up just a little by taking out a little repetition.

Other than those minor quirks, you have an amazing story under your belt, and I am so excited to read the rest of it, as well as your James Knight book! I'm an aspiring screenwriter, too, so you're almost like an idol to me, and I need to study your books more often.
