Review-
This story, Arranged by Sydjk_94 has an amazing beginning that I'm sure will continue until the end. It's truly beautiful, written in what seems like an effortless, sophisticated style. The way you write in an an exquisite format definitely adds to the feel of the 1920's setting. You paint an image in my head that plays out like a movie which I love. You don't pile on the details but leave just enough to the imagination. The way you subtly introduced the characters and their personalities was nice because I seemed to learn more about their character as the chapters went on. I already have an opinion about most of your characters in such few chapters. You make me feel like I know them personally and make me want to sometimes knock some sense into them for their acts of stupidity.
I don't know much about Historical Fiction but you make me want to learn more about it. You have such talent and your story Arranged definitely expresses that. The romance factor of your story is clearly outlined and it couldn't be any better. You have an amazing story line that seems to be coming alive fairly quickly which is nice. You have me hanging onto every word and creating new guesses of what's to come. Your dialogue is very realistic and adds to the whole affect you bring. And the way you play with words and use them so effortlessly surprises me because it sounds fantastic. I wish the chapters were longer, that's probably the only thing I want more of but your story couldn't be any better and deserves much more attention than clearly given. I didn't notice any spelling errors, grammar or punctuation. You're doing a lovely job writing and I hope you continue! I know I'll definitely be reading more of Arranged.
Rating- 10/10. It was amazing and I wouldn't give you any less of a rating.
