Review Detail of CailinMatthews in Crocodile Tears

Fair warning, I read the chapters without reading the synopsis first. Everything below is purely first impression of the novel. The thing I'd like to emphasize the most is how well done this is--especially for a First Person Point of View. First person limits a few things like the thoughts of the other characters but the MC is so observant, mature and wise that I don't mind it. It's like you met a person and want to know their story. In that context, the person could only state their perspective. Anyway, I truly commend any author who could write amazingly in first person. With that out of the way, I do hope you give this book a chance. For the plot and storyline, each chapter keeps you more interested by the end. There's like one revelation/twist after another and they all come together, flowing really well. Reading the synopsis after this, I feel like it's not doing it much justice. The MC is much more interesting that it showcases. Her dedication to her goal is admirable. She doesn't want more out of life other than serve people the best she could. None of her decisions are reckless. She is such a good person that every hurdle that comes in, it just grips your heart. The pacing may seem slow... but it gives room to get to know and understand the characters--mostly the MC. This is actually very important, more so in first person. The MC is the person that readers would be with constantly throughout the story. They must meet her, understand her, relate to her... be willing to accompany her in this journey. It is incredibly done and it showcases how much the writer knows her MC. Readers are guaranteed that no loopholes or clash of personality would happen. If changes would appear, I'm confident that it would be explained and written thoroughly. For first impression reviews, I try to do 5 chapters but the build up just made me want to read more until questions are revealed. It's gonna be one hell of a ride from here. I look forward to it for when I have more free time or if suddenly one day is 30-40 hours. Haha. I did notice minor grammar mistakes. Just one, to be honest. Merely repeated. Keep up the wonderful work!
