Got what I needed to help me outline my stories. Could've used more interesting examples that are NOT Harry Potter and other YA that the market loves (though I guess that's the idea).

Extremely informative and a perfect reference book for those interested in writing a novel.

OMG this book is everything. It's the last book I'll ever use to outline my novels. Jessica Brody explains each beat in such a clear and easy way, plus she uses amazing examples from popular books. I also love how she gives us checklists and exercises for us to scrutinize our manuscripts and ensure we hit the important points. Plus she gives some bonus help with loglines, short synopses, and developing arcs across trilogies and series. I can't sing this book's praises enough! If you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for?

I think I've read too many writing books recently. That could explain the 4/5 rating I gave. Because I honestly think this is a 5/5 book.
I'm not making a lot of sense, am I?
I enjoyed the book, but it just... didn't feel like "enough" for me. I don't know. It's way past my bedtime, why am I trying to write a review? Read this book and write your novel, stop reading my nonsense.
