Make up a rating system and rate this book. Explain your idea.

If I had to rate this book I would rate it a 8 out of 10 stars. As a reader if your into love stories, and a little bit of mystery. At the same time it has a bit of a medieval feel to it. You can get a taste of the past and future as to the connection in the story. As an example in the beginning of each chapter there is a quote that relates to the chapter. "And sometimes thro' the mirror blue The Knights come riding two and two: she hath no loyal knight and true, The Lady of Shallot". Explaining how the two main characters Will and Elaine Are a knight and Elaine is The Lady of Shallot. My personal opinion on the book is I'm very into the mystery type romance books. Like which guy is going to choose which girl or even is the step brother going to interfere. As I continue to read it more it makes me anxious the better. That is why I gave it a 8/10 instead of a 6 or even 7. This book would  lead more to the 16+ audiences. For that specific group they can relate more to Elaine's situations that she goes through in the book. It puts the reader in her shoes so you can get a personal visual as she experiences her new life. This would be easier for someone of this age instead of 12 or 13 year olds. For those who have parents that move to state to state can see how Ellie goes about her new life as a new student at Avalon High. As the main part of the main plot of the story. Will and Elaine's relationship throughout the novel diffidently gives it the stars. The intense feels that Elaine gives off to Will, but it's so hard cause she doesn't know how he feels. At the same time she has two big problems. Jennifer and Lance; which is supposed to be his Girlfriend and best friend had a little hook up behind his back. Plus the interesting mysterious step brother of Will. With all the chaos they have going on in their home. Marco's sneaky ways and witch like grin he gives off makes him intimidating. The biggest problem of all is he knows the secret between Lance and Jennifer. With all the intense drama and love triangles going on in the story overall it is a very interesting story. What it lacks is the pace of the story. Sometimes in the book it feels like it drags on, and I will start to lose interest in what I read. If they fix that minor problem I would of gave it a 10 stars out of 10. Now since the book is basically over now it starts to get more interesting. At the end of the day yes I would recommend this book to friends if their interested in this type of genre.
