Preliminary Review: A Bold Bet with a Great Payoff
"My hat off to you. It's definitely not easy to write a novel that delves so heavily into very sensitive topics such as teenage pregnancy/marriage and abusive relationships. It was a bold bet in the sense that it could have easily gone wrong, but from what I've read so far you really know what you're doing and the way you tug at your readers' heartstrings is just masterful. Straightforward reading, writing that makes you love or hate characters as intended by the author, good pace... This story has ticked all the boxes for what I look for in a great book. There were very few grammar mistakes, but nothing remotely serious enough to take away any enjoyment from reading this book. Definitely a job well done! Will keep reading for sure!"
Great, but Needs Editing
"I really like the plot of the story, I think it's intriguing and does follow some common tropes in the romance world but hey if it ain't broke don't fix it. I really hope Lucas isn't going to be abusive to her in any physical sense b/c those kinds of stories that feature abuse that turn into love, especially with a female protagonist who has already been victimized, it's a bit yucky so I'd caution you on how you write Lucas as far as him being an ass but not abusive. I do think the story has a good pace, I would've like an indication in the third chapter that we were looking at a flashback since I was extremely confused at first thinking that was taking place after the wedding (so maybe putting it in italics or some kind of heading??) There are some grammar mistakes that do take away from the story so I think going back and editing with Grammarly or a beta reader would be helpful. Overall, I think this is a great start!"
