    ★★★★★ 4.5
    The story captures most of vivid perceptions of author's imagination, delivering spontaneous unfolding events, thus, ensnaring into an alluring addiction. Reader can expect much, being author depicting/representing the story as if with a 'bond' with the characters.
    Strengths:
    1)The description of the background and the figures in respect(characters, objects etc) which event takes place at are vividly described.
    2)The natural pacing of the story is good.
    3)Character development is nearly perfect.
    4)Language descripting the events is a standout feature letting the reader Imagine the scene for vividly.
    5)Foreshadowing is a feature that adds a dramatic effect to the storyline.
    6)The psychology of the characters to the unfolding events are depicted with as much as realistic approach.
    Weakness:
    1)Transitions are fairly smooth, but might be lacking in some parts, though it can also be taken as surprise(as in jump scare).
    2)The ending can be smoothed out, or also be taken as cliffhangers.
    3)Being AI assisted content this point can be ignored. The story flows as if the lead character(Sarah) is stating what is happening with her in real-time(present). Implying that the tone of the story should be constant, but is altering.
    4)The description of the intimate relationships of the two lead characters should be more detailed(this is totally a personal point based of my tastes...thank you).
    Conclusion(In layman's language)
    Yeah, its good.
