Juicy, Chaotic, and Full of Surprises
"This story is perfect for anyone who loves the drama and juiciness of reality television. The premise feels inspired by shows like Married at First Sight, but with a fresh and original twist that makes it stand out. The worldbuilding is engaging, and the character of Lerato truly comes to life on the page, her personality feels vivid and relatable. If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to pay attention to the pacing. At times, the quick dialogue and scene changes can feel a little overwhelming for the reader. I understand the intent is to capture the fast, chaotic energy of reality TV, but I think this would come across even stronger if Lerato’s own thoughts and reactions highlighted how hectic everything feels, rather than leaving the reader to piece it together through the dialogue alone. This way, we experience the whirlwind through her perspective without losing track of the story. Overall, the plot is compelling, and I’m especially curious to find out more about the mysterious man Lerato is meant to marry. It’s a promising start, and I’m excited to see how the drama unfolds."
Loved it
"A little something different. It will definitely stand out in the contest it has entered. Pleasantly surprised by the representation as a South African🇿🇦. Funny, awkward and whole bunch of fun. For lovers of something with a lot of heart "

I'm Team Lerato
"Universal Contest is an amazing read. The writing is sharp and witty, offering a biting critique of the reality TV industry and its exploitation. The compelling contrast between Lerato's genuine struggles and the show's fake world makes you root for her to win. I can't wait to see what happens next."
Diverse
"This book was so different to the typical romancenovel/book. It was unique and diverse. The plot was good. the writing was great. Feedback: In the earlier chapter the characters could have been described better. I personally also got a bit confused at the start due to the - instead of proper quotation marks for speech. Overall great story keep up the good work!!!"
