Took forever to get to the main point, then rushed it.

The concept was cute, but the author totally sold one thing and gave another. The book was more about the minute details of the meetings rather than about the main topic, the secret baby. If you’re going to give away the only tasty morsel (aka the “secret” baby”) in book description, at least don’t make the reader wait till 3/4 of the book is done to get to it that part and then rush the rest. Honestly, the first 3/4 of the book could have been summarized in a much more captivating manner in about 1/4-1/3 of the writing. The remaining 1/4 of the original book should have been more dramatized or at least expanded instead of rushed to finish an already tediously slow and painfully detailed book.
If this is the author’s first try, then I’m sorry for sounding harsh. If not, then it’s better late than never to learn how to improve. Please take it as constructive criticism and know that I would 100% read another one of your stories if you can learn from mistakes and improve your writing, especially by using your readers’ feedback.
