Write a reviewThis is one of the best novels I’ve read. Yes, as a child myself, I’m probably not the best person to trust. Does that mean I won’t write this review? Obviously not, since you’re reading it. The characters are all lovable, and the interaction of the main cast seem like genuine interactions between friends. The way Scarlet observes people is fun to read, and it’s funny seeing how she spins the people around her into sea witches or scum of the earth. I also enjoy the way you make them react. Alex acted just as a ten year old should *spoiler* to having a new adopted sibling. Loving it. 10/10
Synopsis alone is worth the five stars. 😆😆😆😆😆 Aside from that, I know we can count on the author in delivering a funny and enjoyable story.
Reveal SpoilerAs of chapter 8, the book is progressing very well. The characters are almost real, with their own personalities. The main character documents the story in this journalistic fashion, like a diary almost. On chapter 8 this way of presenting the story to us is changed suddenly, still from the main characters point of view, but told to us in a different manner. Very good Highly recommend
Reveal SpoilerI came for author Des for she needs a lot of reviews despite this, this novel is relatively a good one it still starting but who would have thought that starting the story from mc being a 10 year old is a good start for character development I only came for the plot, clean writing ( and adding some deep words would be fine) and especially the manners of the mc that would be the one leading us for a whole new experience in their world who would want to have a good plot and clean writing only to be messed up bad creation of the mc but all of the good attributes that needed me to be hooked in a novel is here so I highly reccomend it ( I know it is still starting but I am already having good impression of the story).
Reveal SpoilerI truly cannot say enough good things about Love Journal. I am so sad to see it end but all stories must come to an end. I am so satisfied with the conclusion. (The way you ended it leaves room for a sequel if you wanted Destiny hehe😉😊😘). Truly a great author that gets you so enthralled with the story and characters. Scarlet, Alex, and Jasper grow individually as well as together. With the help of Elfie and then him reaching out to Edward, they all quietly protect and support Scarlet as they realize the daredeviling risks she's taking for justice/peace for the Wilde family insuring the Anastasia's getting locked away for good. Truly an amazing novel💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Truly a great story that touches on so many real life situations. I have been fervently reading it since it started. Destiny is a great writer so check out her other works too!! Scarlet has been through many hard life situations before reaching *****hood from having sh*tty parents who only see her as a tool to advance themselves to being adopted and still not feeling like she fits in to building relationships and wanting to repay kindness at the expense of putting herself in harms way to falling in love and being awkward in her relationship. Great heartfelt reading that will touch you.💗💗
I've finally caught up, and I have to say that I really enjoy this story right now. The characters are very real, human. They stress, have mental illness and none of them seem perfect, or 2-D. However, I can't really give it a perfect score because of some name errors. There are some moments when a different character's name is used instead of the one that should be used. For instance, in a later chapter, instead of saying Permanent Frost, it said Permanent Scarlet. But, that's the only con I have, which could be fixed easily... Anyway, I was slightly surprised that the story started when she was ten, as opposed to later and having flashbacks or mentions of past deeds. This way is actually quite interesting, as it's more fun to 'see' it rather than 'hear' it. So positive review from me! Please keep it up, good luck and good health!
I usually don't write reviews, but this is one of the best stories I have ever read here. The author gives the reader a unique point of view by switching between a blog post style and the actual events. I love how the events in the blog directly tie into the story. My only complaint would be: I wish there were more chapters. Thanks so much and keep it up! 😊
So far so good from I’m reading. I like how the author starts off the story from a blogging perspective/ format and then transitions to a reading format. This was not expected on my part.
The story development is awesome. You can help but fall in l? ove with all the characters. How about adding a little more pages for eacj cuapter
I will start you with 5 stars, this is due to a recommendation of my fav. author. [Ajzehn] When she says it's fun and must-read.... I comply. Let see how it goes, I will start reading and will continue monitoring and give an accurate review then.. Fighting, Destiny_Aitsuji Good luck!
The author desu did a great job establishing the mc and her personality. The writing style is unique and a great hook. One of my most enjoyable read so far. Good Luck getting this sponsored or something likr that :)
I seriously wonder if the author is female. If not, then I congratulate you for doing something most people find it difficult to. Haha, I remember trying to write a female main character, now here I am, in my room converting it into a male version.
Need to get Xp so ignore this comment gave all good ratings don’t want to bring the story down at all so might as well help bring it up so...... here you go no backlash please
Amazing author. Amazing book. Strong character development. Multi-faceted and very relatable. If you're looking for a good book to get drawn into, this is definitely one of them. 💗💗💗💗
I really enjoyed it! But honestly I enjoy most of the writers works on this platform! So much talent, nothing like watpad ew hahaha. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
interesting cant wait to see more the chapter are not too long and the remaining chapters is taking so much time before it is updated I like the wrtimg quality the character background too JusT need to work on the stability of the updates
Reveal SpoilerStory deserves a try. Strong Main lead and genius kids are fun to watch. Waiting for more. 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140 140
I'm giving it a read from Ball of Nothing's redirection and I can't say I'm too disappointed. This may be romance but as usual, the author has a unique way of writing overly used genres. I don't like reading romances but maybe I'll stick to this for a bit to see. Author gives you comedy as usual and snarky main characters. Love it so far!

Mandatory Shameless author 5-star review & announcement: Some of you may know me from the fanfictions I write and others from Ball of Nothing and some other less popular originals but here I am, attempting something that many of you know if not my game - romance. Why am I writing this? I want a contract with a certain editor I like working with so my aim is to get contracted with this so that I can get my go-to gal for issues. Also, I'm currently in a fascinating long-distance relationship and this story is a record of my personal romance and life story with twists. What is the new concept and style of this piece? I'm aiming for a third-person style similar to BON in Season 2 with a first-person inside from the journal entries. This way readers get to enjoy the gap between external reactions and internal scorn from Scarlet. How long does the series go? I'm thinking of until Scarlet comes to terms that she's fallen in love with Jester13 because that is where my understanding of romance ends at the current moment. I would continue after that based on my experience but mind you, I've only been in this relationship for about 4 months as of date of shameless review so wedding bells and all might come in late by a few years. Announcement: I am looking for proofreaders. If you love reading web novels and don't care what you read, you just love reading and hate grammar errors then please look for me on discord - Britannia#3207. I have a bunch of awesome writer friends who require English SOS. And yes, some of us are ranked. Please note that you will be tested for speed, reliability and trustworthiness as a proofreader. This is a dedicated non-paying volunteery job that requires all you love and attention to details in unpolished scripts. That's all from me, thank you for reading.
