Review: chapters/POV are sometimes too short. Since the story is equally about Leo too, title isn't perfectly the best but it's still brilliant because of how he keeps thinking about her. It's easy to read so the flow is alright but right when you are immersed & getting into it the scene ends (too short). Characters are fine but need more definition and personality.

Review: Too much is happening at the beginning and there should be more context added. Still hooks you in though. Genre would fit more of an action book. For grammar- too many commas questions less usage of capitalization (eg- "i" instead of "I"). Flow is bit messy sometimes i.e the character just tells us what they do (eg- I shower, then I eat, etc).

Firstly, an important thing about the cover- it's beautiful, simplistic and eye catching but at first when I saw it, I couldn't have imagined it to be having Indian lead characters! So that misdirects the book's theme. The starting was amazing- really hooks you in. Although have to work out the grammar. Maybe check out an editing shop to get pointers. Characters were amazing and I could connect with them easily. Keep it up!

Title is slightly generic but still fits the story. Cover can be changed though (it doesn't showcase exactly how good the book is!). Starting was brilliant. A correction for the blurb- "Bella Prince and Zach Ivans have been best friends since literally the day they were born." I believe you can remove the world literally from the sentence to make it more right. Writing and Flow is great and at times feels like reading a published book. Keep it up!

Very creative Title. Cover is splendid. The writing needs a little editing work here and there for it to be it's perfect version. This was a unique idea and it is really enjoyable. Keep it up!

You should add "the" in your title (i.e, " The Fake Nerd ") to make it more proper and catchier too. It is a really fun read. Everything about your writing is fine but I suggest you should do more showing than telling in you writing. Keep it up!

Firstly- WOAH! I was so not expecting the book to be what it was. It really deserves great hype. There are trigger warnings to be checked though. Suggestions- lower the use of "...." in your dialogues. Sometimes they are way too much and come off as overdramatic or hard to read and understand what's going on. Also the use of italicised words can be lessened a little as well. It was a heavy read and I connected with the characters. I could feel what they were feeling. Amazing work!!
