What You Won’t See Here:
1 Star – Didn’t like it or couldn’t finish. Not worth posting.
⭐⭐ 2 Stars – Didn’t enjoy it enough to share. Just not for me.

What You Will See Here:
⭐⭐⭐ 3 Stars – I liked it! It was a solid read, but something didn’t fully click—maybe the writing style or emotional connection just wasn’t there for me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 Stars – Loved it! Whether it was the romance, the drama, or the mystery, this book pulled me in. I didn’t want to put it down—not even to sleep.

⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 4.5 Stars – So close to perfection. An amazing read that truly hit the mark.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Exceptional! A must-read that stayed with me long after I finished. Great characters, strong storytelling, and major impact. If I’m giving it 5 stars, I’m buying a copy and telling everyone about it. Total book hangover territory.

  1. I love that you’ve laid out your rating system (which is very similar to mine). It makes it simple to follow. Thanks!

  2. WOW there were a few bad ones there. It is funny if you look at the books they review they rate all of them 1 or 2 stars. What is wrong with people. My condolences to the math wiz poor fool sat there computing things to give a 1 star review. Wasted time he will NEVER get back. What an ass!

  3. Renee, I found your review policy refreshing! And I absolutely love your comments on rude reviews. I am a new Indie author and am thrilled when readers tell me how much they enjoyed my story, but I have come across a few readers (thankfully a short list), that seemed to be looking for something my story didn’t have, and felt compelled to leave a bruising review … I appreciate you’re take on closed minds, too. Books aren’t written as a one-size-fits all. ~ Suzanne McKenna Link (author of Saving Toby)
