PS: the review feels like it’s all over the place because I wrote the review while reading it. Adding points on the way. *chuckles nervously*

Title: (10/10)
Your title is fabulous. It sparks interest in the reader. Precise and directly relevant to the plot which is a plus point and it is different. The reader tends to think about what the story contains without going further since they would love to enhance their imagination and you have given them enough space to do so. Job well done.

Cover: (10/10)
Your cover was simple and elegant. It did not contain sophisticated graphic that burns the eye like some other covers I have gone through. It simply catches the eye and is wonderful. Your color combination is perfect. Furthermore, it gives a sense of thoughtfulness to the entire book. Love it.

Blurb: (10/10)
Your blurb was short and precise you hadn’t dragged it into a mini prologue which is a skill I admire. Your rhetoric questions were another stance in which you gave space to the reader to think about what drama she/ he was getting themselves into. It is also pretty interesting. I honestly liked the way you’ve showcased your plot, the richness of your plot and imagination was certainly borne through your blurb. Excellent work.

Opening Chapter: (10/10)
Oh my goodness, this what you call a blast and right at the beginning is even more wonderful. You have instantly jumped into the plot with no fillers of waking up on a Monday morning which I genuinely appreciate considering the ton of other books that I have read which started likewise. I also appreciate the manner in which you presented your MC. He was so relatable and very much adored. He has that magnet which pulls you in and that is thanks to your amazing writing and character development. Your language was simple but it gave the right amount of everything that a story need. Another thing is certainly the best friend Derek who was certainly that one friend we have in every group or clique but your portrayal was well done. Nathan like every good-looking guy is not the type to make the MC look small or rather be belittled and that is a new path in which you have made your story original and tangible. The chapter is short but it has tangible plot that it makes no difference. I’m glad to have been the chosen reviewer of this book.

Plot: (10/10)
Your letters are so far the best I’ve ever read and I doubt it can get more beautiful than you’ve written it. Also, how you combine the characters like and show how the other knows well is intriguing. They are so poetic and full of admiration and hope. And is imply squealed when Nathaniel left a note on a flower…. Jeez I was on cloud nine like honestly, I was fangirling over this practically adorable relationship that was blooming. I loved chapter 22 the most because of how Leon acted and confronted to help Nathan. But, what’s best? Your clues. Wow, you know how to ransack the mind of Nate and you did it exceptionally. To keep it short an amazing plot.

Character Development: (10/10)
I should say your MC can be cringey sometimes specifically when he said, “This man is literal heaven, he smells like a thousand flowers in the garden of Eden” but that’s what makes it enjoyable to read and make the readers turn into marshmallows because of the hopeless crush he harbors. Also, the rhetoric questions he asks himself because he is not confident is just cute and funny. It’s so cheesy but I didn’t mind at all because that is what makes him the shy chess captain. And oh my god dude Nathan is such a fluffball I know I can be weird but this book is just so cute and the type everyone should definitely read. I really hope this book gets published because it definitely deserves that honor. Nate is so cute when he actually replies to J saying that he actually likes Leon but of course our MC is a tad bit too dumb to realize. Do you know how you develop the in every letter it goes deeper and cuter (of course, I live for it). I love the way Nathan approaches J/Leon its quite discreet and has a beautiful flow to it. Nathan can actually be quite an ass but damn he is the confident drunk who would act on his true feelings. I laughed at how he casually opened J’s shirt and went on to kiss him. The best part of it is how J finds confidence with every passing letter that is what I didn’t expect to be done but you did and it just shows how much of an amazing writer you are. With every letter we see a new found confidence and how Nathan gets more excited and more eager for J’s letters are the best. Even when he was with him, he tends to sell himself out and its just wonderful. J is wonderful I mean come on he just throws the letter far away but sitting right next to Nate and points it out. I swear he has more confidence than he owns up to. Cee is my girl she is another character I love so much when she called Derek a shrimp boosted my ego (oops) but Derek may have disappointed me as well.


Content: (9.5/10)
This is what I call perfection. You knew how, what and when to write. You don’t find authors like you everywhere and I certainly admire you for your brilliant writing.

Writing style: (9.5/10)
Lovely style. Your puns and talks about movies and all. Also, the hints in the letters are absolutely graceful. It had so much flow and I loved it.
Grammar & Punctuation: (9/10)
I spotted one particular place where you had written than instead of that in the letter on chapter 7 which was the 3rd letter J or rather Leon sent to Nate. Other than I spotted none.

Overall Enjoyment & Impression: (5/5)
If you read my comments above you would have already figured out how much I simply adored your book. It was beautiful and wholesome just like their relationship. Excellent work. I await to hear from you. And, I read the whole book in less than 2 hours and im proud. Yes, I am. After I publish this one im gonna go and vote for all the chapters because I didn’t do it while reviewing as it is my policy.

Interaction with the readers: (5/5)
A good job here as well. You mingled with your readers and that’s fantastic work. Your author’s note was cute.
Total: 98/100
