Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),

Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!

Anyway let's get right to it,

"You can leave me for Alice.I know she is the one for you." I whispered,trying to hide how hurt I was.

OKayyy....well, I'm not that familiar with this particular fandom, which is what I'll say right up front, but hmm, the first impression here for me are the two dialogues there. I don't think that quite works for something like a blurb. That paragraph at the end could definitely pass for a blurb but the rest of it really doesn't strike me as particularly blurb like material there, so be a little bit careful about how you go about that particular one. Otherwise, well, lemme just dive right into this little premise here.

Well, this seems like it'd be a pretty fun premise from what's mentioned here. It doesn't seem to be the most original of ideas I have to say, but this is a fanfiction anyway, so I think that's not too big of a problem, and it is the sort of situation that can get you invested as a reader. In that sense I think this makes for a pretty solid blurb of sorts here. It seems like a story that I'd potentially even read here, considering these sorts of things can be quite intriguing when done correctly.

Aaaaand that's it for this one.

As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.

Stay Safe

' "You can leave me for Alice.(Space)I know she is the one for you."
Now first off, posting a snippet of a novel is rather difficult to review, because we don't know what context it's under. Try posting a teaser in your blog ;). Right now I have no idea who this is, or what's going on. So it would be better to just post chapters first, rather then little hints of it.

I whispered,(Space)trying to hide how hurt I was.


"If you think about it, this way I will commit suicide without having to burn myself down(Space),Opel."
Okay, so this is a little confusing...I assume it's Jasper she's talking to, and

Okay,there is two problems.(Space)Jasper is a member of the Cullen family and he already has a girlfriend,(Space)Alice.
Okay...so the first thing I read is that She's being left for Alice, now Alice is already his girlfriend? So you've got a few things to work out, and once you do PM me and I'll review the rest!

Good luck with your novel!

Doesn't seem like a blurb, it seems good though but there are some things that if you would edit will read better.
I will go step by step:

Red color means I would suggest you to skip these words.
Text in bold means I would suggest you to edit it this way
Blue describes my description and suggestions

' "You can leave me for Alice.I know she is the one for you." I whispered,trying to hide how hurt I was.
"If you think about it, this way I will commit suicide without having to burn myself down,Opel." he murmured into my ear with honesty in his voice. '


It is better if you go like:
"You can leave me for Alice. I know she is the one for you." I whispered, trying to hide how much I was hurt.
"If you think about it, this way I will commit suicide without having to burn myself down, Opel." he murmured into my ear, her voice seemed honest.

You don't have to use those '__' before and after the text, it is not quoted but you are expressing a conversation.

There,Opel finds her real love.Jasper Hale who is a vegetarian vampire and is kind enough to save her and Bree.

It would be better this way:
There, Opel found her real love, Jasper Hale, who is a vegetarian vampire and was(I am not sure of tense you are using, so I'm using simple past tense.) kind enough to save her and Bree.

Okay,there is two problems.Jasper is a member of the Cullen family and he already has a girlfriend,Alice.

You can make it read better this way:
However, on the other hand, there are two problems. jasper is a member of Cullen family and he's already got a girlfriend, Alice.

There are few more things. You are not using one space after full stop, you have to leave one space after full stop and leave no space before it.

This is all for now, hope I helped.
