book cover: 0/5

grammar: 0/10
- are there too many typos? can they write with proper grammar? are they writing in consistent tenses? (eg. if the author changes tenses every paragraphs from present to past tense, then they are being inconsistent and you should deduce some points)
- your vs. you're, we're vs. were differentiation etc.

plot: 0/10

paragraphs: 0/10
- are they way too short? are they balanced?
- can one chapter only consist of dialogue tags and not enough action tags? ( o.O seriously this is ryland's biggest pet peeve lmao ppl just having dialogues every paragraphs like they're not doing anything else but talking through ONE chapter )

punctuation: 0/10
- are they using their commas, apostrophes and dot points properly?
- do their sentences flow nicely due to the proper use of punctuation?
- can they form a proper dialogue tag without bunching everything together and making it look like a huge messy convo tags?

vocabulary: 0/10
- have the author carefully chosen their vocabulary?
- determine whether the book is written in a professional or playful manner and depending on the story's style, have the author chosen the appropriate vocabulary to enhance their plots?
- note that "big" words doesn't always mean "best" as sometimes stories would be too hard to understand when authors uses vocabulary that are too broad and it makes readers lose interest in it so quick.

overall: there are some typos and spelling errors in the book which can be easily fixed during editing later by the author but the flow of the book is perfect and it's easy to read and the plot is easy to follow. i love how it sounds cliché at first but as I continue reading, it's definitely something different! i can relate to the characters very well and it's written very realistically. will definitely recommend this to others ♡
