10th Place;

Book Title; A Night To Remember- Author Name; @Lillian_Ambrose2601
The opening chapter is interesting. There isn't a note anywhere explaining the use of Italian in the character dialogue. Having to translate a lot of the conversations outside of Wattpad wasn't great. It wasn't until after that I realized the author had written the translations as comments. Still I would have preferred strong context clues along with it to at least understand the gist without having to search. Having to translate disrupted the flow. A note at the top at least explaining the translations were in the comments would have helped at least! With the previously mentioned thoughts and the chapter's context I'm not sure I would want to read more in the present state!
Score: 30/50

Did it make you want to read more?
Answer: Honestly, no. It's like I'm killing time.
Did it make you feel any kind of emotion towards the characters?
Answer: No. it felt like they were puppets. They didn't really have anything special to them; something that would intrigue readers.
Does it give you a glimpse of what you are to expect?
Answer: Not really. It feels like I'm in my sibling's classroom for a day and just sat there doing nothing.
How is the Author's writing style?
Answer: The writing style isn't very good. There are numerous grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes. Also, the characters are portrayed in a way that nobody will be interested.
