It Was You started out with promise, but unfortunately it quickly deteriorated for me. I know the author has asked for honest and constructive reviews that can help her grow as a writer, so here are my thoughts summed up:

- The cover was the first thing that drew me to this book. It’s excellent - well done!

- However, I found the main character completely unlikable and grew tired of reading the same descriptions of how much she was drinking and constantly mixing alcohol with medications.

- I guessed the final twist (in the Epilogue) in the first chapter (which is definitely okay!) but I didn’t feel satisfied for having figured it out before the reveal.

- Please spend some more time on interior formatting. The double spacing, especially, made the story read more like a university course submission over a published novel and took quite a bit of getting used to.

With that said, congratulations to the author on her debut novel and I wish her all the best on her writing journey.
