The book, Secret Feelings, is a Romance story written by keshbentley. This story is written in first person. It is about a young woman named Kira who lives with her father. She has sworn off love completely because of past grievances. Her and her father are down on their luck, struggling to make ends meet. Kira's father, a laid off chef, and Kira, a waitress. Kira meets a mysterious patron who tips her generously. This generosity turns out to be somewhat of a rues as she is later kidnapped by the same person.

The main protagonist in the story is Kira. The story is written primarily from her perspective. She is a hardworking girl who wishes to do right by her father but ends up being dealt a bad hand from fate. She is described as nice and caring but can snap when irritated. The word Yandere rings strongly in my head when I read about her. Kira is a well rounded character, although I do get a little bit annoyed at her reactions to the situations she's placed in. She usually underreacts to things.

Dante is a little bit of an enigma. Little is known about him and what information is given isn't all too in-depth. I assume he will be the deuteragonist, but currently he is the antagonist as he is the one who has kidnapped Kira. As it is still early in the story, I assume this will soon be remedied.

What I like about the book is the quirky voice that Kira has. It is actually really enjoyable to read. I find her really hilarious. Did you notice that you censor words more when you're writing for Dante than when you're writing for Kira? I found that a bit ironic but funny. I find, though, that the errors are a little bit distracting. The lack of punctuations really take away from the story.

I did enjoy reading the book, however. It isn't a genre I normally read but I do find myself dabbling from time to time in the romance department. I really like Kira's voice. You need to work on fixing the punctuations and line breaks. Dante could use a little tweak too.

(Rating ⭐️/5)

Originality ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The concept of the story seems to me to be: A mafiaesque love story with elements of stockholm syndrome. I kind of get the feel the entire story is just explaining the reason Kira is so stone-hearted, which isn't all too interesting. It may be a little too early to judge such a thing as originality on a story like this.

Vision ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Vision of the story is memorable. The flow of the story gets a bit interrupted by nonsensical rantings of main protagonist from time to time but nothing too distracting. These little breaks are actually pretty funny and add the charm to the story. There were a few hiccups in the storyline and a few plot holes that need to be filled but this is still early on in the story, so it would be hard to judge if they are really holes or not. I could relate to some characters and envision some situations playing out in my mind's eye. 

Impact ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  

Honestly, the story is kind of dull in a few places. My interest wavered in and out during some of scenes. The main protagonist's naivety can be somewhat of a turn off. She doesn't really react to the situation like you'd think someone would, given the circumstances.

Technique ⭐️ ⭐️ 

You need a little work with punctuation. There were some areas in each chapter where punctuations were missing completely, making it a little difficult to actually understand what was happening. In some areas where there should have been periods, there were commas, and where there should have been commas or periods, there was a lack of anything. There were some points in the story where there was a random line break in the middle of a sentence. 

Cover ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The simplicity of the design speaks volumes. The boy and girl pressing their heads together in what one can assume is silence. Their eyes are closed, the girl is frowning -- we can assume this is Kira -- and the boy is smiling -- we can assume this is one of the mobsters. There is one thing though. In my opinion, the pink and yellow letters in the corner kind of throw the cover off. The coloring is wrong and the font face is wrong. 

Summary ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The summary, I assume, is a dialogue between one of the mobsters and Kira. It gives us a tiny bit of a glance at what happens in the future without giving away too much. It makes you want to actually read to find out why she said what she said and who she said it to.

Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
