Romance

Madison, a high school senior, dreams of having the perfect prom. However, she doesn't have much money, and her relationship with her distant father is strained. Luckily, her best friend, Cameron, is always there for her, though she just sees him as a friend. One day, the most popular guy in school talks to her and asks to hang out. Madison sees a chance to elevate her social status and a way to live the life she dreamed of! As Madison starts to change to fit in, she faces growing tensions with Cameron and her new crush. In the end, Madison must make a choice, realizing that some friendships are more valuable than popularity. Will she make the right choice?

Excellent work! I had a good time reading this one. The grammar was good, and the language was easy to follow. Though, sometimes I felt like the characters behaved a bit weird. <<SPOILERS AHEAD>>

For example, I would have expected the father to attempt to bring Madison back home when she chose to stay with Cameron at some point. Also, it is mentioned that Jessica is supposed to be ruthless and will do anything to maintain her position in the social hierarchy, but she doesn't really make any moves against Madison. Maybe if I had made different choices, she would've done something? I'm not really sure.

Also, there was a place where I noticed that the reader was asked to click a link based on whether they were honest or defensive with Tyler. You can actually record that choice with a variable and then use a link restriction to prevent the wrong choice from appearing. I'd recommend reading the articles on variables and link restrictions for this.

Overall, I thought it was quite a decent read.
